Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Documentation of Paleontolgical Resources in MT" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00015) to support continued research, documentation, and public-facing science communication related to paleontological resources on BLM-managed lands in Montana. A specific emphasis of the work is the Upper Missouri Breaks National Monument area, with the broader goal of expanding scientific knowledge, publishing findings, and promoting awareness of the scientific and natural resources found on BLM lands.
This funding was structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, indicating that the BLM anticipated substantial involvement or collaboration in the funded work rather than a hands-off grant arrangement. The opportunity anticipated making one award. While the total estimated funding available for the opportunity was listed as $50,000, individual project awards were expected to fall within a smaller range, with an award floor of $2,500 and an award ceiling of $10,000. The program also required cost sharing or matching (a challenge cost share), meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources or matching support as part of the project budget.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, such as state universities and public colleges. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.238, reflecting its placement within the Department of the Interior assistance listings commonly used for federal financial assistance tracking and reporting.
The opportunity was posted and created on January 15, 2015, with an application closing date of February 19, 2015. It was later archived on March 21, 2015. Applicants were directed to retrieve the full announcement, instructions, and application package via the application tab referenced in the notice. For technical difficulties accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, at 406-896-5196.
