Opportunity Summary:
The Nez Perce National Historic Trail Project (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00108) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement in the natural resources area, with a focus on cultural resource management (CFDA 15.224). The purpose of the project is narrowly defined: to locate a segment of the Nez Perce National Historic Trail within Carbon County, Montana, and to verify whether and where the route crosses lands managed by the BLM. In practical terms, the work supported by this award is aimed at trail segment identification and confirmation on the ground and/or through supporting research, so BLM can document the trail alignment and its relationship to federal land jurisdiction in that part of Montana.
Funding for the project is fixed at $25,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $25,000, meaning BLM anticipated making a single award for the full amount (Expected Awards: 1; Estimated Total Funding: $25,000). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating that the agency intended this work to be carried out by an academic institution with relevant expertise, such as archaeology, history, cultural geography, GIS, or related cultural resource and landscape documentation disciplines. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the project would typically involve more substantial federal involvement during performance (for example, coordination on methods, access to data, field verification planning, and review of deliverables), consistent with BLM cultural resource management practices.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on May 12, 2014, created on June 10, 2014, and ultimately closed on June 25, 2014 (the original closing date was June 11, 2014). The opportunity was archived on July 1, 2014, which generally means it is no longer accepting applications and has been moved into an inactive listing status.
Applicants were directed to use the application materials and instructions available via the announcement's application tab (per the additional information link note). For access issues or administrative questions, the point of contact listed was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer (GMO), Bureau of Land Management, reachable at 406-896-5196 or landerso@blm.gov.
