Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00028
The BLM Utah 2017 Heritage Resources Preservation Programs and Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00028) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It focused on safeguarding and promoting Utahs extensive heritage resources found on public lands, including archaeological sites, historic structures and artifacts, and paleontological resources. The underlying premise of the program was that Utahs public lands contain thousands of unique and irreplaceable cultural and scientific records, spanning roughly 13,000 years of human history and millions of years of biological prehistory, and that these resources require active management, preservation, and public-facing stewardship to remain protected and meaningful.
The program was anchored in the BLMs management role across approximately 23 million acres of public land in Utah, administered through eleven field offices coordinated by the BLM Utah State Office in Salt Lake City. Within that structure, the State Offices Cultural Resources Management and Paleontology Programs oversee statewide coordination for resource protection, preservation strategies, and outreach. In practical terms, the opportunity was intended to support work that aligns with how BLM manages heritage resources for educational, scientific, cultural, and recreational values, while also recognizing that effective preservation depends on collaboration with outside partners, volunteers, tribes, researchers, and the broader public.
A central theme of the grant was partnership-building. BLM sought applicants who could collaborate with the agency to expand public learning and engagement around heritage resources in Utah, increase volunteer opportunities that support stewardship and education, strengthen engagement with Native American tribes as key stakeholders in cultural resources, and encourage studies on public lands. The scope implicitly covered a wide range of activities that contribute to preservation and responsible use, such as outreach and interpretation, public education initiatives, collaborative projects that improve stewardship capacity, and research or inventory-type studies that improve understanding of resources on BLM-managed lands, so long as they support the program goals of protection and public engagement.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was listed under CFDA 15.224 and categorized in the Natural Resources funding activity area. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a broad range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full funding opportunity announcement. The posted award ceiling was $200,000, with an expectation of about eight awards. The opportunity was created on February 9, 2017, and the original closing date was June 30, 2017, with the note that specific submission dates and times were provided in the FOA (referenced as being on pages 8 and 9). Overall, the grant was designed to leverage cooperative agreements to connect BLM with capable partners who could help preserve Utahs cultural and paleontological legacy while expanding public involvement and tribal collaboration in stewardship of these nonrenewable resources.Apply for L17AS00028
