Opportunity Information: Apply for L20AS00008
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Cultural and Paleontological Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L20AS00008) is a discretionary cooperative agreement program focused on conserving and responsibly managing Utah's cultural heritage and paleontological resources found on BLM-managed public lands. The program recognizes that Utah's federal lands contain an irreplaceable record of human history and natural history, including archaeological and historic sites, museum and field artifact collections, places with traditional cultural importance to Native American Tribes and other communities, and paleontological resources that document millions of years of Earths past. Because these resources are fragile and nonrenewable, the BLM frames this work as both a stewardship responsibility and a public benefit, supporting preservation while also encouraging appropriate public use, learning, and engagement.
A central aim of the opportunity is to build partnerships that help the public connect with these heritage resources in ways that strengthen long-term conservation outcomes. Projects are expected to support a meaningful stewardship legacy by expanding public access and recreation opportunities on public lands, improving visitor experiences through better infrastructure and maintenance, and making management processes more efficient by reducing unnecessary steps and duplicative reviews while still maintaining strong environmental standards. At the same time, the opportunity explicitly prioritizes meaningful consultation with Tribes and support for Tribal self-determination, including efforts that increase Native American access to locations and natural resources that are important for traditional cultural practices and beliefs.
The program goals are broad but clearly defined. Funded work should contribute to protecting and preserving cultural heritage and paleontological resources for future generations, improving professional and public understanding of the nations cultural and natural history, and creating educational, recreational, and economic opportunities for local communities and the visiting public. Another major emphasis is responsible collections and records management: projects can support managing heritage resource collections and associated documentation to appropriate professional standards, and improving access to those collections and records for the public and for Native Americans, consistent with applicable laws, policies, and sensitivities.
In terms of basic funding details, this opportunity was released by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management under CFDA 15.224, with the funding activity category listed as Natural Resources. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in project coordination, oversight, or technical collaboration. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity as allowed by the notice text and any additional eligibility clarifications. The posting anticipated approximately three awards, with an award ceiling of $50,000.
The application window ran from February 25, 2020 through June 1, 2020 (with a stated deadline time of 4:30 PM EST), and it offered two submission rounds: Round One applications were due May 1, 2020, and Round Two applications were due June 1, 2020. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a partnership-driven funding call to help the BLM protect Utahs archaeological, historic, Tribal cultural, and paleontological resources while expanding responsible access, improving visitor services, strengthening Tribal engagement, and ensuring collections and information are preserved and made accessible in appropriate ways.Apply for L20AS00008
