Opportunity Information: Apply for L20AS00033
The BLM Idaho Cultural and Paleontological Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L20AS00033) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on protecting and managing cultural heritage and paleontological resources on BLM-managed public lands in Idaho. The program centers on resources such as archaeological sites, historic sites and structures, museum and field artifact collections, areas of traditional cultural importance to Native American tribes and other communities, and fossil resources. Together, these materials and places document thousands of years of human history in the region and millions of years of natural history, and the BLM emphasizes that this record is fragile and nonrenewable, meaning once it is damaged or removed, it cannot truly be replaced.
The purpose of the funding is to support work that helps the BLM coordinate practical management and long-term preservation of these resources, while also encouraging responsible education, outreach, and public use. In addition to on-the-ground stewardship, the opportunity is framed to include projects that increase public understanding of Idaho public lands history and prehistory, improve how collections and sites are cared for, and create or support economic opportunities connected to heritage and paleontology (for example, interpretive programs, partnerships that strengthen heritage tourism, or other public-facing uses that still protect sensitive resources). Because the focus is on federal lands administered by the BLM in Idaho, projects are expected to directly contribute to BLM resource management goals and compliance needs tied to cultural and paleontological stewardship.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during the project. In practice, this often means the BLM may collaborate closely with the recipient on planning, technical direction, permitting and compliance considerations, data and reporting expectations, and alignment with agency priorities for specific sites or landscapes. The total funding structure listed includes an award ceiling of $100,000 per award, with approximately six awards anticipated under this opportunity, suggesting support for multiple small-to-mid-sized projects rather than a single large statewide effort.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to a wide range of applicant types), subject to any additional eligibility details in the full announcement. That generally means organizations such as universities, nonprofits, local governments, tribal entities, museums, and other qualified partners may be able to apply, as well as other entity types as allowed by the announcement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.224 and categorized under Natural Resources, reflecting the BLMs role in managing public lands and the scientific and cultural resources found on them. The notice was created on January 16, 2020, and the original closing date was May 31, 2020, placing it within a specific funding cycle tied to that year.
Overall, this opportunity is designed for partners who can help the BLM identify, document, protect, stabilize, curate, interpret, or otherwise responsibly manage archaeological, historic, traditional cultural, and fossil resources on Idaho BLM lands, while balancing preservation with education and appropriate public access.Apply for L20AS00033
