Opportunity Summary:
The Hidden Cave High Definition Video Production opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00113) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement aimed at creating a high-quality, non-commercial interpretive video about Hidden Cave, an important cultural and archaeological site listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The project is positioned within the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (GB CESU), part of the larger national CESU Network that links federal agencies with universities, tribes, state and local governments, and conservation organizations to support research, technical assistance, education, and capacity building across natural and cultural resource issues. The GB CESU, hosted by the University of Nevada with participation from Nevada BLM, is described as having the collaborative structure and interdisciplinary expertise needed to connect scientists, practitioners, educators, and the public, which makes it a suitable vehicle for delivering an interpretive media product intended for broad public benefit.
The core objective is straightforward: the recipient will develop a public-facing video that interprets Hidden Cave for educational and outreach use. The work specifically includes producing, filming, narrating, and editing the video in high-definition format, with the intent that the finished product can be used by the Churchill County Museum and other public groups in a variety of interpretive settings. A central motivation is accessibility. By providing a strong video experience, the project is meant to expand access to Hidden Cave for people who may not be able to visit in person, including schoolchildren, older adults, and individuals with special needs, while still conveying the site’s cultural and archaeological significance.
A notable feature of the award is its workforce development component. BLM indicates it will support the partner through funding that enables employment of a college student or recent graduate as an intern, giving that individual practical experience in professional video production while contributing directly to a public education deliverable. In other words, the agreement is designed to produce a tangible interpretive product while also building early-career capacity in a relevant technical skillset.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity categorized under Natural Resources and issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM anticipates substantial involvement or collaboration during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The total anticipated funding is $10,000, and the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $10,000, signaling that BLM expected to make one award at that fixed amount. The listing also indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement (a Challenge Cost Share component), so applicants would need to be prepared to meet whatever match expectations are detailed in the full announcement.
Eligibility is restricted to members of the Great Basin CESU, even though the listing also notes “unrestricted†applicants in a general sense; the clarifying eligibility statement controls here, so applicants must be part of the GB CESU partnership. The opportunity was posted June 13, 2012, created June 18, 2012, and then amended (Amendment 0001) specifically to extend the closing date. The original closing date was June 18, 2012, and the amended closing date became July 9, 2012, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same. The archive date is July 19, 2012. For access issues or questions, the point of contact listed is Eddie W. Bell at BLM (775-861-6435, ebell@blm.gov).
