Opportunity Summary:
The Elephant Mountain Archaeological Project (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00087) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. It is designed as a continuation of a long-running Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) agreement first established in August 2005. The original CESU work supported archaeological survey efforts in the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area in northwest Nevada, specifically within Washoe and Humboldt counties. This opportunity keeps that work moving forward by supporting additional survey and research that can deepen understanding of how prehistoric hunter-gatherer groups used this landscape and by contributing to broader archaeological knowledge about the earliest human inhabitants of the Great Basin.
The project emphasis is on generating more information about prehistoric land use and cultural resources in an area known for both its ecological significance and its well-preserved archaeological record. By extending and building on earlier survey efforts, the grant supports continued documentation, analysis, and interpretation of archaeological sites and materials. In practical terms, the work funded through this opportunity is meant to add detail to the regional picture of mobility, subsistence, and settlement patterns of early Great Basin peoples, and to strengthen the scientific basis for cultural resource management in the National Conservation Area.
In terms of funding, the BLM anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $10,000 to a ceiling of $20,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating that the competition was open to any type of entity, unless further limits were specified in the full announcement under the eligibility clarification section.
The timeline for this modified announcement is a key feature of the notice. The opportunity was posted May 17, 2010, with an original closing date of June 8, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of June 22, 2010. The modification also pushed back the anticipated project start date to August 2010. The archive date was July 22, 2010, reflecting when the opportunity would no longer be active on grants.gov.
Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on grants.gov for complete requirements and submission details. For help accessing the announcement, the contact listed was Susan Kaller at the Bureau of Land Management, reachable by phone at 775-861-6559 or by email at susankaller@blm.gov.
