Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Paleomagnetic Survey of Late Cretaceous Strata Kaiparowits Plateau, Utah" was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on cultural resource management, specifically a paleomagnetic study tied to Late Cretaceous rock units on and around the Kaiparowits Plateau. The project scope was framed as a two-year preliminary survey involving field collection and subsequent laboratory analysis of rock samples to identify and interpret remnant magnetic signatures preserved in Cretaceous-age strata. Work was to be conducted in and around Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, within Kane and Garfield counties in Utah, indicating a geographically targeted investigation in a region known for extensive sedimentary formations and scientifically significant geologic and paleontological resources.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The announcement anticipated a single award, with total funding set at $10,000, and both the award ceiling and floor also fixed at $10,000. In practical terms, that indicates one recipient would receive the entire amount rather than multiple smaller awards being made. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility language that might have been included in the full announcement. The funding opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.224, labeled "Cultural Resource Management," reinforcing that the scientific work was being supported in a context aligned with stewardship, documentation, and management of federally administered resources and landscapes.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 20, 2008, with an original and current closing date of June 3, 2008, and an archive date of July 3, 2008. The short application window suggests this was a narrowly defined, time-sensitive solicitation aimed at quickly identifying a qualified partner capable of carrying out a preliminary paleomagnetic survey and producing usable data within the two-year period.
For applicant support and administrative questions, the point of contact listed was Maria Gochis, Grants and Agreements Specialist, serving as the grants management contact, with a phone number provided (801-539-4178). The notice also indicated that applicants experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically should reach out to the listed contact, which implies the full technical and administrative requirements were available through an online posting but assistance was offered if access issues arose.
