Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00091
The BLM Utah Cultural and Paleontological Resource Management Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on protecting and responsibly managing Utah's exceptionally rich cultural, archaeological, historic, traditional, and paleontological resources on public lands. The program supports work tied to BLM-managed lands across roughly 22.9 million acres in Utah, where heritage resources collectively document more than 12,000 years of human occupation as well as millions of years of Earth's natural history. The underlying purpose is to help safeguard a fragile, nonrenewable scientific and cultural record while also enabling appropriate public use, education, and long-term stewardship.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, which generally means projects are expected to be carried out in partnership with BLM and with meaningful federal involvement during planning and implementation. The activity area is classified under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.224), reflecting the agency's mission to manage public lands and associated resources for present and future generations. The opportunity is described as open to unrestricted applicants, meaning any type of entity may apply as long as it meets any eligibility clarifications noted in the official notice. In practice, this kind of program often attracts proposals from universities, museums, tribes and tribal organizations, local governments, nonprofit organizations, professional research groups, and other qualified partners with relevant expertise in archaeology, historic preservation, collections management, paleontology, interpretation, and public outreach.
The program emphasizes a broad set of outcomes that combine preservation with public value. Proposed projects can align with BLM Cultural Heritage and Paleontology Program priorities such as site and landscape management, documentation and protection of archaeological and historic places, stewardship of artifact and fossil collections, and attention to places of traditional cultural importance to American Indians and other communities. Beyond protection and compliance work, the description also highlights education and outreach efforts, indicating interest in projects that translate scientific and cultural knowledge into public understanding through interpretive materials, community programming, and other engagement strategies. Economic opportunities are also mentioned, signaling that BLM may prioritize work that supports heritage-related public use in ways that are sustainable and respectful of resource sensitivity, such as responsible interpretation, volunteer programs, and carefully managed visitation that does not compromise irreplaceable sites or fossils.
The award structure for this announcement includes an award ceiling of $100,000 per award and an expectation of about six total awards. The application window ran from June 18, 2019 through August 19, 2019, with two submission rounds: Round One applications due July 18, 2019 and Round Two applications due August 19, 2019, both by 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
