Opportunity Information: Apply for L18AS00063
The BLM NV Ely District Office Lincoln County Land Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-298) Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative Round 11 Announcement is a federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L18AS00063) focused on natural resources work, specifically supporting archeological projects. In practical terms, the BLM is looking to team up with an outside partner to carry out archaeology-related efforts that align with BLM land and cultural resource management needs in the Ely District area and within the scope of the Lincoln County Land Act framework.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That distinction matters because a cooperative agreement typically involves substantial federal involvement during the project. In other words, the selected recipient should expect active coordination with BLM staff on planning, methods, deliverables, fieldwork expectations, data standards, and reporting. This setup usually fits projects where the agency wants the work done in close collaboration to meet specific management, compliance, or stewardship goals tied to public lands and cultural resources.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types (such as nonprofits, universities, tribes, state and local governments, and potentially private entities), with the caveat that any extra eligibility conditions would be spelled out in the full announcement under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.224, which corresponds to BLM assistance programs.
Financially, the announcement indicates an award ceiling of $300,000 and anticipates making up to seven awards. That suggests the BLM intended to fund multiple projects or multiple partners under this round of the initiative, with individual project budgets potentially varying up to the stated cap. The notice was created on July 16, 2018, and the original application closing date was August 30, 2018, so it was a time-bound competitive process for that round (Round 11).
At a high level, applicants were expected to propose archeological work that the BLM would consider valuable enough to support through a collaborative agreement. While the short description does not list specific tasks, archeological projects under BLM partnerships commonly include inventory and survey, site recording and evaluation, testing and data recovery where appropriate, analysis and reporting, GIS/data management improvements, cultural resource condition assessments, public interpretation products, and other activities that help the agency meet legal and stewardship responsibilities for cultural heritage on public lands. The key theme of the opportunity is partnership: BLM is not simply purchasing a service, but engaging a recipient to jointly deliver archeological outcomes that support land management and preservation goals under the Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative.Apply for L18AS00063
