Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "FA BLM AZ CESU Vermilion Cliffs National Monument with NAU" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00223) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under CFDA 15.238. It was posted on August 6, 2012, with an application deadline of August 23, 2012, and later archived on September 21, 2012. The program set out to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 (the listed award floor is $1). No cost sharing or matching requirement was included. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the project emphasis on student and early-career professional development.
At its core, the opportunity is designed to place students and/or entry-level professionals alongside experienced public land managers so they can gain practical exposure to complex cultural resource management issues on public lands, specifically in the context of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. The intent is not only to give participants hands-on field and management experience, but also to help them build the kind of professional foundation that supports long-term career decision-making in cultural resource management. By working directly with BLM staff and real management needs, participants can better understand how cultural resources are identified, evaluated, protected, and managed within a federal land management framework.
The project also emphasizes building a longer-term working relationship between the recipient institution and BLM. Beyond the immediate fieldwork, it is framed as a pathway for continued collaboration focused on student development, recruitment, and service opportunities. In practical terms, that means creating a pipeline where students can develop relevant skills, agencies can mentor and identify promising early-career talent, and both sides benefit from sustained coordination on cultural resource priorities.
The funded work would support cultural resource inventory, research, monitoring, and excavation efforts. These activities are meant to produce reliable, quantitative data that can be analyzed and directly applied to BLM decision-making and stewardship. Inventory and monitoring help establish what cultural resources exist and how they may be changing over time, while research and excavation can contribute deeper context that improves understanding of site significance and informs appropriate management responses. The overall value to BLM is better information for planning and protecting cultural resources, while the overall value to participants is applied training in professional methods and public land management realities.
