Opportunity Summary:
The Upper Burro Creek Archaeological Field School grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00206) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support archaeological field training and cultural resource inventory work on public lands in Arizona. It was issued to replace a prior opportunity (L13AS00164) and is tied to the BLM Kingman Field Office lands, where the Upper Burro Creek Archaeological Field School has operated as a regional program since 2003. The effort has historically involved BLM working alongside Pima Community College's Centre for Archaeological Field Training in Tucson, reflecting a strong emphasis on hands-on, standards-based instruction linked directly to real management needs on federal land.
The core objective is twofold. First, the project helps BLM meet its legal responsibilities to identify and document cultural resources through cultural inventories required under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). In practical terms, this means locating archaeological sites, recording them properly, and generating defensible documentation that supports federal stewardship, planning, and compliance obligations. Second, the project is designed as a training pipeline: students learn how to conduct professional archaeological fieldwork in line with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards, building skills that translate directly into cultural resource management careers. The announcement also highlights a broader research value, noting that the fieldwork is producing information important to archaeologists because the Upper Burro Creek area is described as comparatively poorly understood, so the resulting data helps fill significant regional knowledge gaps.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the BLM anticipated making a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The stated award ceiling is $100,000, with an award floor of $15,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any applicant type, subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement.
The posting date and creation date were August 14, 2013, and applications were due electronically through Grants.gov by August 21, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, with late submissions explicitly not considered. The archive date was August 30, 2013. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed grants management contact was Eddie W. Bell Jr., Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 602-417-9268 or by email at ebell@blm.gov. The full announcement and related materials were referenced as available via Grants.gov.
