Opportunity Summary:
The FA EIFO Paleontology Project (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00019) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on natural resources and cultural resource management (CFDA 15.224). The project centers on improving the condition, organization, and documentation of BLM-owned paleontological collections currently housed at the University of Alaska Museum. The main purpose is to bring these fossil collections and their associated records up to modern archival and curatorial standards so they are properly preserved, accurately cataloged, and easier to manage and use over the long term.
A major expected outcome is improved accessibility of collection information. By upgrading curation practices and collection records, the resulting data and documentation will be made available to other institutions and the public, supporting research, education, and broader public understanding of paleontological resources. In practical terms, this typically involves organizing and rehousing specimens using current museum standards, ensuring labels and provenience information are stabilized and consistent, and improving inventories and documentation so that the holdings can be reliably searched and referenced.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was $35,000, and no cost sharing or matching funds were required. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the collections being held at a university museum and the specialized expertise needed for archival, collections management, and paleontological curation work.
Key dates for this announcement were a posted and creation date of April 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 20, 2010. The archive date for the opportunity was May 31, 2010. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time of posting, and the listed point of contact was Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer at BLM (907-271-5193, s2smith@blm.gov).
