Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Cultural Survey at Lima Reservoir in Montana" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00165) to support cultural resource management work at Lima Reservoir in Montana. The core task is to complete an inventory of the north shoreline of the reservoir during periods when water levels are low. In practical terms, this means field-based cultural resource survey work focused on shoreline areas that are normally submerged or difficult to access, with the goal of documenting cultural resources that may be exposed or at risk when the reservoir recedes.
This opportunity is classified under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with the CFDA number 15.224 for Cultural Resource Management. The BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. The total estimated funding associated with the opportunity was listed as $60,000, while the stated award range ran from a floor of $2,500 to a ceiling of $21,000, indicating that individual project funding was expected to fall within that band even though the broader estimate for the opportunity is higher. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that might have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the opportunity category was discretionary, which generally means applications would be competitively reviewed and selected based on the criteria described in the full notice rather than allocated by formula.
Key dates for the announcement were mid-2011. The opportunity was posted and created on July 14, 2011. The original and current closing date were both August 14, 2011, and the archive date was September 14, 2011. This indicates it was a time-limited solicitation with roughly a one-month application window and is now archived.
For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable at (406) 896-5196 or by email at landerso@blm.gov. The listing also referenced Grants.gov as the source for the complete announcement details, including any specific scope, deliverables, required qualifications, and submission instructions.
