Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Cultural Resources Education and Public Outreach IN IDAHO" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00198) to support efforts that foster the understanding, protection, and responsible management of Idaho's prehistoric and historic resources on public lands. The core purpose of the program is twofold: first, to help educate and engage people in ways that contribute to safeguarding archaeological and historic resources, and second, to build broader public awareness of why Idaho's cultural heritage matters. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on projects that translate cultural resource stewardship into real public benefit through education, outreach, and activities that encourage respect for and preservation of these resources.

This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply awarding funds and stepping back. Applicants could propose initiatives that inform the public about cultural and archaeological resources on BLM-managed lands in Idaho, promote responsible visitation and stewardship, and strengthen the long-term protection and management of sensitive sites through increased understanding and awareness.

Funding availability was relatively modest and intended for a limited number of awards. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity was $37,500, with an expected number of awards of 1. Individual award amounts were constrained by a stated ceiling of $7,500 and a floor of $2,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have the ability to provide non-federal match. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications included in the full announcement.

Key dates indicate that this was a time-limited, archived opportunity. It was posted on July 19, 2010 (created July 20, 2010) with an application deadline of August 15, 2010, and it remained archived until July 19, 2011. Anyone seeking the original full announcement and application instructions was directed to use the "Applications" button in the listing, indicating that required forms, submission details, and any specific project priorities or evaluation criteria were likely provided there.

For questions or trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the listed contact was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer at the BLM, reachable at (208) 373-4018 or via email at melindaritacco@blm.gov.
