Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Employment - Archaeology grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00123) was offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a discretionary funding program using a cooperative agreement. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.224, Cultural Resource Management. The core purpose of the award was to support youth employment focused on cultural resources and archaeology, specifically by having youth work with existing GIS-based archaeological data to improve accuracy and completeness.
The work described centers on practical GIS and records-management tasks related to archaeological site and inventory information. Youth participants would review existing archaeological site and inventory shapefiles to check for errors and inconsistencies, correct mislabeled sites and inventories within the GIS database, and digitize new records where needed. In addition to spatial edits and digitizing, the project also includes entering and updating archaeological metadata for both sites and inventories, which typically means ensuring attribute tables and associated documentation contain standardized, usable information for management, reporting, and long-term data integrity.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and narrowly defined. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000 listed in the announcement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $4,000, indicating the intended award amount for an individual agreement action was $4,000, even though the posting also references a larger total funding figure. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as long as it met any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement package. The notice directed applicants to the application tab in the announcement to download complete instructions and the application package, suggesting that specific requirements, deliverables, reporting expectations, or youth program conditions would be detailed there.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on June 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2014, and it was archived on August 1, 2014.
