Opportunity Summary:
The Las Cienegas Cretaceous Project was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on environmental and cultural resource stewardship through paleontology. The core purpose of the grant was to support a baseline survey of paleontological resources within the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. In practical terms, the project was aimed at identifying, documenting, and establishing an initial inventory of fossil resources in the area, creating foundational information that could guide future land management decisions, conservation priorities, interpretation, and protection of scientifically important sites.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more collaborative relationship between the awarding agency and the recipient than a standard grant. The funding activity category was listed as Environment, and it was tied to CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), reflecting its connection to managing and preserving cultural and scientific resources on public lands. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was $50,000 and the award floor was $0, meaning proposals could request up to the full amount available and there was no stated minimum request level. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so applicants were not obligated to provide additional non-federal funds to qualify.
Eligibility for the competition was limited to city or township governments. This suggests the BLM intended to work directly with local governmental entities, potentially to strengthen local partnerships, integrate results into regional planning, or support local capacity for resource management and public land collaboration. The public posting date was July 22, 2009, and the application deadline (original and current) was August 6, 2009, indicating a relatively short application window of about two weeks. The opportunity was archived on September 5, 2009, meaning it is no longer open for applications.
Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and submission details. For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout at paulstout@blm.gov. Overall, the funding opportunity can be understood as a small, targeted, single-award cooperative project to produce an initial paleontological baseline for Las Cienegas National Conservation Area, supporting the BLMs responsibility to manage, protect, and make informed decisions about fossil resources on federal lands.
