Opportunity Summary:
The National Register of Historic Places in Montana funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM MT RFA09 1553) was a discretionary Department of the Interior grant offered through a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, with a specific cultural resource management focus (CFDA 15.224). The project was designed to support preservation planning and documentation work in Montana by funding research and nomination preparation for two historic properties: the Beaucoup property and the Henry Smith property. The central deliverables described in the announcement include researching and compiling existing information about both properties, conducting site mapping to document location and features, and preparing and presenting National Register nominations to the Montana State Historic Preservation Review Board. In practical terms, the work would likely involve gathering archival and prior survey materials, evaluating historical significance and integrity, assembling documentation required for National Register forms, producing maps that meet nomination standards, and coordinating the formal review presentation process with the state-level board.
The opportunity was intended to be awarded through the Cooperative Ecosystem Study Unit (CESU) network for the Rocky Mountain Region, which is commonly used by federal agencies to partner with qualified universities and research institutions for applied studies and resource management projects. The only eligible applicants listed were public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the award was geared toward universities and similar state-run academic entities capable of carrying out historical research, cultural resource documentation, and compliance-quality mapping and reporting.
Funding for the project was fixed at a total of $15,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $15,000, and the agency expected to make one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 5, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2009, and an archive date of September 30, 2009, indicating the solicitation is no longer active and was tied to that 2009 application window.
The announcement referenced Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) for full details and application materials. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact was Lori J. Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable by email at landerso@blm.gov.
