Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00168
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "Bureau of Land Management Idaho Cultural and Paleontological Resources Management" (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00168) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. The award type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.224. As written, it is focused on supporting work related to cultural resources and paleontological resources management on BLM-managed lands in Idaho.
The applicant eligibility is broad for public and nonprofit partners, but it clearly excludes certain groups. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category listing). At the same time, the notice explicitly states that individuals and for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply under this NOFO, so applications from those entities would not be accepted.
A key restriction in the notice concerns youth hiring and internship-style crews. The opportunity specifically does not support entities that want to hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice points out that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that authority, and because this NOFO is not issued under that particular youth corps authority, applicants should not propose projects built around that kind of intern/crew hiring model. If an organization is a Youth Conservation Corps or is looking to develop youth-focused projects on public lands, the notice directs them instead to a different funding path: NOFO 15.243, "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands," which is the appropriate vehicle for those youth corps-style projects.
In terms of funding size and timing, the posted award ceiling is $10,000, indicating relatively small projects or targeted support rather than large multi-year program funding. The original closing date was March 28, 2022, and the opportunity record lists a creation date of January 26, 2022. The listing does not provide an expected number of awards in the source data provided here, so the volume of awards is unclear from this snapshot.
Overall, this is a small-dollar, cooperative-agreement opportunity intended for government entities, tribes, schools, universities, and nonprofit partners to assist BLM Idaho with cultural and paleontological resources management activities. The most important compliance points are that individuals and for-profits cannot apply, and proposals should not be framed around Public Lands Corps intern or crew hiring; youth corps concepts need to be pursued under the separate BLM youth conservation NOFO instead.Apply for L22AS00168
