Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00261
The Bureau of Land Management Colorado Cultural and Paleontological Resources Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00261) is a discretionary federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on supporting cultural and paleontological resources work on BLM-managed lands in Colorado. The program is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating priorities, providing technical input, and ensuring work aligns with federal resource management requirements). The activity area is Natural Resources and the program is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.224.
The main purpose is to fund projects that help manage, protect, document, and responsibly steward cultural heritage resources (such as archaeological sites, historic properties, cultural landscapes, and related records) and paleontological resources (such as fossil localities, paleontological surveys, documentation, stabilization, and related management actions) on public lands. While the notice text provided does not list specific project types in detail, the title and program framing indicate support for on-the-ground and programmatic work that contributes directly to BLM cultural and paleontological resource management responsibilities, potentially including inventory, condition assessment, monitoring, site stewardship, research and documentation products, and other management-support activities consistent with BLM priorities.
Eligibility is broad for public and nonprofit partners, but explicitly excludes individuals and for-profit organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including special districts); independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments; Tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), other than institutions of higher education). This structure reflects BLMs intent to partner with governmental entities, educational institutions, Tribes, and mission-driven organizations that can carry out technical resource work and coordinate with BLM land managers.
A key restriction in the notice is that this NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act is the specific legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework, and that youth and conservation corps style projects that depend on that authority must be pursued under a different funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants should not structure proposals around PLC intern hiring or PLC crews for this particular opportunity; proposals should instead focus on cultural and paleontological resource management deliverables that do not rely on PLC-based internship or crew hiring mechanisms.
The opportunity had an original closing date of June 28, 2022, and listed an award ceiling of $150,000. The posting indicates expected awards but does not provide a specific number in the excerpted data. Because it is a cooperative agreement with a stated ceiling, applicants typically would be expected to propose a clearly scoped project with measurable outcomes and a budget that fits within that maximum, while coordinating closely with BLM staff during planning and implementation.
In short, this funding opportunity is designed to help BLM Colorado advance its legal and program responsibilities for cultural and paleontological resource stewardship through partnerships with eligible public, Tribal, educational, and nonprofit entities, while excluding for-profit/individual applicants and steering youth corps and PLC-intern related work to a separate, dedicated BLM youth opportunity.Apply for L22AS00261
