Opportunity Information: Apply for L23AS00180
The FY23 IIJA Bureau of Land Management Nevada (NV) Cultural and Paleontological Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L23AS00180) 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 resource management work on public lands in Nevada. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.224.
This opportunity is aimed at organizations that can help BLM meet cultural resources and paleontology stewardship needs. In practical terms, that typically includes activities that support the identification, protection, evaluation, documentation, monitoring, and management of archaeological sites, historic properties, cultural landscapes, traditional cultural places, museum/curation-related needs, and paleontological localities and specimens on BLM-managed lands. The listing does not spell out specific project types beyond the general program area, but the title and program framing make clear the work must be tied to cultural and paleontological resource management priorities in Nevada under BLM oversight and in coordination with BLM staff.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, including state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status. At the same time, the notice is explicit about who cannot apply: individuals and for-profit organizations are ineligible for awards under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
A key restriction in the description is workforce-related: this NOFO does not support entities that want to hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the legislative authority used for hiring interns under that framework, and that this cultural and paleontological resource management NOFO is not the vehicle for those kinds of youth internship or crew-based arrangements. As a result, eligible Youth Conservation Corps entities that are looking to pursue projects involving youth crews or internship-style engagements under Public Lands Corps authority are directed instead to apply through a different funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. The takeaway is that applicants should design proposals around professional, partner-delivered cultural and paleontological resource management work rather than proposals centered on Public Lands Corps intern/crew hiring.
The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $500,000. The original closing date was March 31, 2023, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of January 30, 2023. The expected number of awards is not specified in the provided source data.Apply for L23AS00180
