Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Data Collection Management and Education Outreach" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00185) to support and strengthen historic preservation efforts in Idaho. The overall purpose of the award was to facilitate and advance Idaho historic preservation programs, with an emphasis implied by the title on improving how cultural resource information is collected and managed, and on increasing public or stakeholder understanding through education and outreach activities. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.224, Cultural Resource Management, which is commonly used for projects that help agencies and partners identify, document, protect, and interpret historic and cultural resources.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. In practical terms, that generally means the BLM anticipated substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating on work plans, data standards, deliverables, outreach approaches, or alignment with state and federal preservation priorities. Only one award was expected, indicating the agency likely intended to fund a single, focused project or partner-led effort that could have a clear impact on Idaho preservation programming.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, so the intended applicant pool would have been Idaho state entities capable of carrying out statewide or program-level preservation support work. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers to participation and meant applicants did not need to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Funding for the opportunity was modest but targeted. The estimated total program funding was $10,000, with an award ceiling of $15,000 and no stated award floor. The small scale suggests the project was likely meant to address a specific need such as improving data organization or accessibility, enhancing documentation workflows, developing or updating educational materials, or conducting outreach that supports historic preservation compliance and stewardship across Idaho. The solicitation was posted and created on June 24, 2015, with an original and final application deadline of August 12, 2015, and it was archived on September 12, 2015.
For applicants needing the full announcement and application package, the notice directed them to use the application materials available through the official posting, and it provided a point of contact for access issues: Christine Shaver, Grants Management Officer, reachable at (208) 373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
