Opportunity Summary:
The Data Sharing with State Historic Preservation Office in Montana grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00206) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It supported cultural resource management work in Montana, specifically focused on continuing improvements to the existing heritage resource database maintained by the Montana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). In practical terms, the opportunity centered on better organizing, updating, and sharing heritage and historic preservation data so the SHPO and its partners could more effectively manage and protect cultural resources.
The award was issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expected to remain involved during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping away. The activity category was listed under natural resources, but the CFDA listing (15.224, Cultural Resource Management) makes clear that the core purpose involved cultural and historic resource information systems, data stewardship, and preservation planning support. The intention was to strengthen the SHPO's heritage resource data capabilities, which can help with review and compliance activities, resource tracking, and informed decision-making across state and federal land management and preservation programs.
Funding availability was modest and tightly defined. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000 shown in the record, while the award floor and ceiling were both set at $20,000, indicating the intended award size for this specific announcement was $20,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the eligible recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, which in this context aligns with supporting the Montana SHPO or an appropriate state entity able to carry out the data-sharing and database-improvement work. The posting date and creation date were both July 14, 2014. The application deadline was August 10, 2014 (original and current closing date were the same), and the opportunity was later archived on September 30, 2014, indicating it is no longer open for applications.
Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package through the listed additional information link. For technical issues accessing the materials, the contact person provided was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer (GMO) with the BLM, reachable by phone at 406-896-5196 or by email at landerso@blm.gov.
