Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Projectile Point Identification Model - North Central Idaho" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00194) focused on cultural resource management in North Central Idaho. The purpose of the project was to develop a practical, standardized, and repeatable methodology for identifying projectile point morphology. In plain terms, the work aimed to create a consistent way to measure and classify stone projectile points (such as arrowheads and dart points) so that different analysts could reach the same conclusions when working with similar artifacts. A major part of the effort was also to compare measured points from the project area to established reference collections that already have associated chronological dates, with the goal of improving how confidently archaeologists can link point forms to time periods in the region.
Administratively, the opportunity was run as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. It fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and listed CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The announcement anticipated making a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $33,000, which also served as the stated award ceiling; the award floor was listed as $1. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to participate.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, open to any applicant type, with the note that the project met the criteria for Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) arrangements. In practice, that language typically signals the work is aligned with the CESU network model for research, technical assistance, and education partnerships, and may involve specific administrative or partnership expectations consistent with CESU agreements.
Key dates in the original posting show it was posted July 27, 2011, with a closing date of August 19, 2011; the archive date was July 27, 2012.
