Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "CESU Student Outreach in Geoarchaeology on Public Lands" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00182) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) youth initiative designed to bring minority and college students into the pipeline for careers in natural resources, earth science, and archaeology. The core idea is to use BLM-managed field sites and partner facilities as hands-on learning environments where students can gain practical experience while contributing useful information to public-land management. The work focuses primarily on North Central New Mexico, with an emphasis on the Rio Puerco Field Office, but it can also expand to other New Mexico locations as new project needs arise.
Program activities center on engaging students in field and laboratory projects that build an understanding of both geologic systems and cultural resources. A key deliverable is the development of teaching modules that introduce and reinforce fundamental concepts in geology and archaeology through real-world applications. These modules are meant to support learning in both outdoor and lab settings, and to guide students as they help address research questions tied to local natural and cultural resources. In practice, that can include using public lands to collect and analyze samples, monitor environmental conditions, and connect those observations to nearby archaeological sites. The overall purpose is educational, but the outcomes are also intended to be operationally valuable to BLM by generating information that supports its responsibilities to preserve, protect, and manage archaeological and heritage resources.
The funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, with a CFDA listing of 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). BLM anticipates making up to two awards. The total estimated funding is $100,000, with individual awards expected to range from a floor of $37,000 up to a ceiling of $100,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can reduce barriers to participation for eligible institutions.
Eligibility is tied to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) network. While the listing notes "unrestricted" applicants in a broad sense, the eligibility information clarifies that the award will be made to an eligible CESU recipient, and the opportunity is explicitly open to CESU partner institutions. The announcement was posted on August 10, 2011, with an application closing date of August 31, 2011, and an archive date of September 30, 2011. Applicants needing the full instructions were directed to download the full announcement and application package via the application tab, and the listed point of contact was M. Charise C. Saiz, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM (505-761-8725; charisesaiz@blm.gov; csaiz@blm.gov).
