Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Prehistoric Trackways National Monument Exhibit and Curation Development" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00190) is a discretionary funding program offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Natural Resources funding activity category, specifically tied to CFDA 15.224, Cultural Resource Management. Its stated public purpose is to support the development of exhibits using materials from the Jerry MacDonald Trackway Collection and to support the curation of those collections. In practical terms, the project focus is on turning an important paleontological and cultural resource collection into accessible public-facing exhibits while also ensuring the underlying collections are properly managed, preserved, and organized according to accepted museum and curation standards.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on planning, review of deliverables, coordination on interpretive content, and oversight to ensure the work aligns with federal resource management goals. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 listed in the announcement, and a fixed award amount of $200,000 shown as both the ceiling and the floor, suggesting an intended award size of $200,000 for the selected project. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, reducing barriers for eligible applicants and allowing the federal award to cover the full approved project budget.

Eligibility was broadly described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of organizations and entity types, but it explicitly was not open to individuals. Applicants would typically be expected to demonstrate the capacity to carry out exhibit development and collections curation work, which can include tasks like interpretive planning, exhibit design and fabrication, conservation-minded handling and storage, cataloging and documentation, and development of collections management procedures that protect the materials over the long term while supporting education and public engagement.

The opportunity was posted and created on July 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov via the provided link. For applicants who had difficulty accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 505-761-8941 or by email at jhuff@blm.gov.
