Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Curation of Reclamation Collections" (Funding Opportunity Number R11SS60012) was issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, as a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. It focuses on cultural resource activities, specifically the curation of museum property that falls under Reclamation jurisdiction and the ability to carry out archeological fieldwork in cases where unanticipated discoveries occur. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at supporting the responsible care, management, and preservation of cultural and museum collections connected to Reclamation-managed lands or projects, while also ensuring there is professional capacity to respond appropriately if new archeological materials are discovered during operations, maintenance, construction, or other ground-disturbing activities.
This opportunity was posted and created on August 11, 2011, with an original and final closing date of August 25, 2011, and it was archived on August 26, 2011. The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $155,000. The award ceiling was also set at $155,000, meaning the full amount could be awarded to one recipient, while the award floor was listed as $0, indicating there was no stated minimum award size. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility for applying was broad and included federal, state, or municipal departments and agencies, educational or scientific institutions, patriotic associations, and individuals. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the opportunity is 15.511, identified as Cultural Resources Management, which signals that the funding is tied to cultural heritage stewardship responsibilities, such as managing archeological resources, museum collections, and related compliance or preservation work.
The funding instrument being a cooperative agreement is significant because it typically implies substantial federal involvement during the project, rather than a more hands-off relationship common in standard grants. In other words, the Bureau of Reclamation would likely expect to work closely with the awardee on planning, execution, and oversight of curation activities and any associated archeological response work tied to unexpected discoveries.
