Opportunity Summary:
The Medford Archeological Field School opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OR NOI08 0713) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement notice connected to cultural resource management work on public lands. It is categorized as a discretionary natural resources award and is tied to CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The core purpose is to support an archeological field school-style project that gives participants hands-on training and real-world experience while helping BLM carry out cultural resources management responsibilities, such as identifying, documenting, and managing archeological and historic resources.
A key point is that this notice is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notice that BLM intends to move forward with project activities without full and open competition, using the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. CESUs are formal partnerships designed to streamline collaboration among federal agencies and partner institutions in research, technical assistance, and education. In this case, the anticipated recipient is identified as a member of the Pacific Northwest CESU network, and the eligible applicant type listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
The project emphasis is both educational and programmatic. On the education side, it aims to build job skills and professional readiness by immersing participants in archeological fieldwork and related cultural resource management tasks. On the program side, BLM plans to select or prioritize cultural resource projects that produce lasting public benefits, generate information that strengthens the agency’s cultural resources management program, or create strong academic and experiential learning opportunities. In practice, that typically means field investigations and documentation efforts that can be used for future land management decisions, compliance needs, site stewardship, and public interpretation where appropriate.
Funding is relatively small and focused: BLM expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000 and an award ceiling of $20,000 (no stated minimum award floor beyond $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. The notice was posted and created on September 13, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 19, 2008, and it was archived on October 19, 2008, indicating the action window for the notice was short and the opportunity is historical rather than currently open.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Pamella Sterling, Contract Specialist, at 503-808-6221. The administering agency is the Bureau of Land Management, and the opportunity title is explicitly “Medford Archeological Field School,” signaling the project’s training-oriented structure and its likely geographic connection to the Medford area or the BLM Medford District.
