Opportunity Summary:
The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center (CCAC) Partnership Programs grant (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00327) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). Its focus was cultural preservation, specifically supporting a coordinated set of activities tied to archaeology and cultural resource stewardship. The program was designed to fund work that helps research, preserve, conserve, interpret, and responsibly curate cultural resources, while also building and strengthening partnerships with American Indian communities connected to those resources.
At its core, the opportunity aimed to back practical, on-the-ground and programmatic efforts such as developing and completing research projects (for example, archaeological studies and related documentation), preservation and conservation work (protecting and stabilizing cultural materials or sites), education initiatives (creating or delivering learning programs and materials), and interpretation (helping the public understand the cultural and historical significance of places and collections). It also explicitly included curation projects, which can involve organizing, stabilizing, documenting, and improving access to collections and records so they are preserved and managed appropriately over time.
A key theme of the announcement was collaboration. The BLM emphasized creating partnerships with American Indians in connection with the research, educational, interpretive, and curatorial components of the work. That means projects were expected to incorporate meaningful engagement and cooperation with Tribal communities or American Indian partners, particularly where cultural affiliation, traditional knowledge, or community priorities relate to the resources being studied, interpreted, or curated.
The total estimated funding available was $100,000, with an anticipated single award. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was $1,500. Cost sharing or matching was not required. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement package.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 21, 2014, with an application deadline of September 5, 2014. The opportunity archive date was September 30, 2014, indicating it was no longer active after that point. Applicants were directed to download the full instructions and application package through the application materials referenced in the announcement. For access issues or questions, the point of contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM (303-239-3605, rraisane@blm.gov).
