Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Curation of Museum Property Under Reclamation Jurisdiction and Archeological Fieldwork for Unanticipated Discoveries" (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00069) was a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary funding announcement focused on cultural resources management. The intent was to support two closely related needs connected to Reclamation-managed lands and projects: first, long-term professional curation of museum property that falls under Reclamation jurisdiction, and second, archeological fieldwork and related collections work tied to unanticipated discoveries that also remain under Reclamation jurisdiction. In practical terms, this kind of funding typically supports the responsible care, documentation, stabilization, storage, and management of federally controlled archeological materials and associated records, along with the ability to respond appropriately when new archeological resources are unexpectedly encountered.
The Bureau of Reclamation offered the award through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expected to have substantial involvement in the work during the project period rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity category was listed as "Other," clarified as cultural resources, and the related CFDA listing was 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). The announcement anticipated a single award, indicating the agency likely intended to select one partner to carry out the work described for the specified scope, rather than distributing funds across multiple recipients or separate project components.
The estimated total funding for the opportunity was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any added eligibility language in the full announcement, which suggests a wide range of potential applicants could compete, such as museums, universities, non-profits, tribal entities, state or local governments, and qualified private or professional organizations capable of meeting federal standards for curation and archeological work.
The opportunity was posted on September 10, 2014 (created September 4, 2014) and had a short application window, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2014. The agency planned to make the award on the same date as the closing date (9/18/2014), implying an expedited selection timeline. The announcement was archived on September 30, 2014, which is consistent with a time-limited competitive funding notice.
For applicants who needed assistance accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Leisa Philbin, Grants Officer at the Bureau of Reclamation, with phone number (406) 247-7606 and email lphilbin@usbr.gov. An additional information link was also provided (http://intra.gp.usbr.gov/), which appears to be an internal government address and may not have been accessible from outside federal networks, reinforcing why direct contact information was included for access issues.
