Opportunity Summary:
The Mountain Landscape Studies Project in Colorado (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00313) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity aimed at supporting proactive archaeological research on BLM-managed lands within the Colorado River Valley Field Office (CRVFO). The work is tied to the federal responsibilities outlined in Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act, which directs federal agencies to identify, evaluate, and manage historic properties under their jurisdiction and to use proactive planning and research to support long-term stewardship. In practical terms, this opportunity is about improving the understanding and management of cultural and archaeological resources in a mountain landscape setting before they are impacted by development, land use, erosion, or other changes.
This grant was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category, and it was associated with CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The cooperative agreement structure typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, such as coordinating research priorities, providing access or data, aligning methods with federal standards, and ensuring the results feed directly into BLM cultural resource management needs for the CRVFO area.
Funding for the project was relatively focused and competitive: BLM anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000, indicating the project was designed to be funded up to that amount, and the award floor was $1,500, showing that smaller proposals could technically be considered although the intent was clearly to fund a major, single effort. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply (for example, universities, tribes, nonprofits, private organizations, or local/state government entities), subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement. Key dates show it was posted on August 13, 2014, created on August 27, 2014, originally due August 26, 2014, and later extended with a current closing date of September 3, 2014. The opportunity was archived on October 3, 2014, indicating it is no longer open but provides a record of the program and its requirements at that time.
Applicants were directed to view the full funding announcement and the application instructions through the official posting (the “Additional Information” link referenced in the notice). For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, reachable at 303-239-3605 or via email at rraisane@blm.gov.
