Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Inventory and Long term Curation of Archaeological Collections with the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory" (Funding Opportunity Number R12SS40008) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region. It was posted on March 15, 2012, with an application deadline of March 29, 2012, and it was archived on March 30, 2012. The program sits under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.511, Cultural Resources Management, which generally supports work that protects, documents, and manages cultural and archaeological resources connected to federal lands and projects.
At its core, the opportunity supports an agreement beginning in fiscal year 2012 between the Bureau of Reclamation (identified in the announcement as "Reclamation") and the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory (identified as the "Repository") in Texas. The stated purpose is long-term preservation and future use of archaeological collections, specifically including artifacts, specimens, and the associated documentation and records that give those materials research value. The emphasis on both inventory and curation signals that the work is not only about storing items, but also about organizing, documenting, and managing them to professional repository standards so they remain accessible and meaningful over time. In practical terms, this kind of project typically involves verifying what is in the collection, reconciling objects with existing catalog or field records, stabilizing and rehousing materials as needed, and ensuring that records are complete enough to support compliance needs and future research.
The funding amount for this opportunity is straightforward and tightly defined. The estimated total funding is $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $10,000, indicating the agency expected to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) at that fixed amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, small businesses, and individuals. The announcement also notes additional eligible entities such as minority groups, for-profit organizations, corporations, and associations, suggesting the agency was open to a wide range of organizational types as long as they could carry out the specialized work of archaeological inventory and long-term curation in a responsible way. Even with broad eligibility language, the description makes clear that the project is structured around an agreement with the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory as the repository, so the practical intent appears focused on supporting curation activities connected to that specific facility and the collections it holds on behalf of Reclamation.
For applicants or interested parties who needed assistance accessing the announcement or had administrative questions, the listed point of contact was Timothy Wagoner, Grants Management Specialist, Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3704.
