Opportunity Summary:
The Upper Burro Creek Archaeological Field School grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00105) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on cultural resource management and archaeological training on public lands administered by the BLM Kingman Field Office in Arizona. The field school has been running since 2003 as a regional program and is tied to archaeological resources in the Upper Burro Creek area. It is carried out in coordination with Pima Community College's Centre for Archaeological Field Training in Tucson, making it both a compliance-oriented effort and a hands-on training program that strengthens the archaeological workforce.
The main goal of the project is to support BLM in meeting federal cultural resource responsibilities by partnering with a recipient to help conduct cultural inventories. Specifically, the work is meant to help satisfy requirements under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), which emphasize identifying, evaluating, and managing historic properties under federal stewardship. Alongside that compliance mission, the field school trains students to perform archaeological fieldwork in line with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. The intent is practical: students gain real experience with survey and documentation methods that are expected in professional cultural resource management (CRM), and many participants go on to work as private-sector consultants or within government agencies responsible for protecting cultural and historical resources.
A notable additional benefit of the project is the research value of the data generated. The announcement highlights that this part of Arizona is relatively poorly understood archaeologically, so the inventories and field investigations contribute information that helps fill gaps in regional knowledge. In other words, the project is framed as both an applied compliance effort that improves BLM's ability to manage resources and a broader contribution to the archaeological record through new documentation and interpretation.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM anticipated substantial involvement or coordination during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, with CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). BLM expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the floor was $15,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation easier for applicants that do not have non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility was essentially open, described as unrestricted (and further stated as "ANY"), subject to any additional clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement on Grants.gov. Key dates show the opportunity was posted June 17, 2013, with a closing date of June 27, 2013, and it was archived June 30, 2013. For access or submission issues, the listed grants management contact was Eddie Bell at the BLM, reachable by phone at 602-417-9268 or by email at ebell@blm.gov.
