Opportunity Summary:
The Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative (LCAI) Round 5 is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support archaeology and cultural resource work in Lincoln County, Nevada. The program is funded through the Lincoln County Land Act of 2000, which directs that 85 percent of the proceeds from auctions of certain public lands in Lincoln County be deposited into a special account overseen by the Secretary of the Interior. A key purpose of that account is to make money available for the inventory, evaluation, protection, and management of distinctive archaeological resources in the county. Through LCAI, BLM uses those funds to sponsor archaeological projects that advance the Land Act goals, and applicants submit proposals describing the specific project they want to carry out.
This round was issued as Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00209 under the title "Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative Round 5." The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination, technical input, or oversight) rather than simply providing a grant with minimal interaction. The activity category is natural resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), signaling that the work should directly relate to managing and protecting cultural and archaeological resources.
BLM anticipated making about seven awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $10,000 at the low end to a ceiling of $250,000 per project. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make participation easier for organizations that do not have other committed funding sources.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a broad range of applicant types, subject to any limits or clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. In practical terms, this generally allows proposals from governments, tribal entities, universities, nonprofits, and private organizations, so long as they meet whatever conditions BLM specified in the complete notice and can carry out the proposed archaeological scope of work in Lincoln County.
Key dates for Round 5 were: posted and created on September 1, 2011, with an application deadline of October 31, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on November 30, 2011. Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Susan Kaller, Grants Management Officer, at 775-861-6559 or via email at susankaller@blm.gov (also listed as skaller@blm.gov).
