Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00215
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Cultural and Paleontological Resources Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00215) is a discretionary federal funding program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordinating approaches, providing technical direction, or collaborating on deliverables) rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.224. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to support projects in Utah that help manage, protect, document, and steward cultural resources (such as archaeological sites, historic structures, traditional cultural properties, and related heritage assets) as well as paleontological resources (such as fossils and fossil-bearing formations) on lands managed by the BLM.
The notice makes several eligibility limits especially clear. Individuals and for-profit organizations cannot apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Eligible applicants are governmental entities and a wide range of public-serving institutions, including state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; 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 tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not for-profit). This mix of eligible entities suggests BLM is looking for partners with a public mission and the ability to carry out resource management work in coordination with a federal land management agency.
A key restriction in the description concerns youth hiring and internship crews. This NOFO does not support projects where an entity would hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice explains the reason is legal authority: the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is described as the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that mechanism. As a result, youth-focused conservation corps or similar organizations that want to propose intern or crew-based projects must apply under a different opportunity specifically designed for that purpose: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. The takeaway is that this particular Utah cultural and paleontological resources program is intended for professional, partner-led cultural/paleo resource management projects rather than workforce-development or youth corps hiring proposals.
From an awards standpoint, the listed award ceiling is $100,000 per award. The number of expected awards is not provided in the source data, which usually means it could vary based on available funding, the number of qualified proposals received, and BLM priorities for that funding year. The original closing date for applications was April 11, 2022, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of February 10, 2022. While those dates indicate this specific posting was tied to the 2022 cycle, the program description and constraints are still useful for understanding how BLM frames eligibility and allowable activities for cultural and paleontological resources management work in Utah.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a partnership mechanism for qualified public and nonprofit entities (including tribes and universities) to work with BLM Utah on protecting and managing cultural heritage and fossil resources on public lands, with funding up to $100,000 and with a clear carve-out that youth corps internship/crew hiring proposals belong under the separate BLM youth conservation funding authority.Apply for L22AS00215
