Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT TO PERFORM CADASTRAL COMPUTATIONAL SOFTWARE MODERNIZATION DEVELOPMENT" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00096) was issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a discretionary, science and technology focused cooperative agreement. Its central goal was to modernize and improve access to BLM Cadastral Survey software programs by placing them into an environment where applied research in surveying and land information systems could be used more directly to support BLM resource management needs. In practical terms, the opportunity aimed to bridge operational cadastral surveying tools with research-driven advances, so that newer computational methods, updated workflows, and modern land information practices could be integrated into the software BLM relies on for cadastral survey work.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. The program was categorized under "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," and it was associated with CFDA number 15.239 (Management Initiatives). The announcement anticipated a single award, suggesting BLM intended to select one primary partner to carry out the modernization and development effort rather than splitting the work among multiple recipients.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $300,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and an award floor of $40,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. This structure made the opportunity more accessible to eligible institutions by allowing them to propose a project budget within the stated range based on the scope and technical approach they intended to pursue.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, signaling that BLM was specifically seeking collaboration with universities or similar academic organizations capable of conducting applied research and software modernization work tied to surveying, geospatial information, and land records systems. The emphasis on an academic partner also aligns with the stated intent to create an environment where research advancements could be translated into usable software capabilities for real-world public land management.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on June 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2013, indicating a relatively short application window. The opportunity was later archived on July 31, 2013. Applicants were directed to retrieve full announcement instructions via the application materials referenced in the posting, and technical or access issues were to be directed to the grants management contact, Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, at ypier@blm.gov.
