Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Cultural Resources Information Data Sharing and Assistance for Archaeological, Historic, and Paleontological Sites, Alaska" (Funding Opportunity Number AK NOI08 0007). The purpose of the program was to support ongoing work that improves how Alaska cultural resource information is developed, shared, and used for day-to-day management decisions. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on strengthening coordination and information exchange so agencies and partners can manage archaeological, historic, and paleontological resources more efficiently across the state.
A central emphasis of the grant was improving the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey (AHRS), which is Alaska's statewide inventory of cultural resources and paleontological sites. The project goals included raising the overall quality of records in the inventory and expanding or improving access to AHRS information. That implies work such as cleaning up and standardizing existing site records, improving data completeness and consistency, supporting better data workflows, and helping ensure the survey remains useful for planning, compliance, research, and resource protection. Because AHRS functions as a key reference for identifying and tracking sensitive sites, the program was aimed at making the underlying data more reliable and easier to use by qualified parties.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number was 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The opportunity anticipated a single award, with estimated total funding of $300,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $150,000 up to a ceiling of $300,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, indicating the competition was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement's eligibility section. The opportunity was posted on August 5, 2008, and closed on August 19, 2008, with an archive date of September 18, 2008. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, at 907-271-5193.
