Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00478
The Lake Canyon Grazing Allotment Archeological Site Condition Assessment (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00478) is a discretionary funding opportunity administered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is tied to natural resource management work at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, specifically focused on assessing the condition of archeological sites within the Lake Canyon Grazing Allotment area. The intent is to support a project that documents and evaluates the current state of cultural and archeological resources in that landscape so the park can better understand site integrity, existing impacts, and preservation needs.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating methods, providing technical direction, or participating in key decisions and deliverables. The opportunity lists an anticipated single award, with an award ceiling of $98,000, indicating that the project is scoped as a focused assessment effort rather than a large multi-year program. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, aligning it with NPS assistance programs.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That suggests the intended partner is likely a qualified nonprofit organization with cultural resources expertise, field capacity for archeological condition assessments, and experience working in compliance-oriented or resource-protection contexts on federal lands. The opportunity was created on July 7, 2017.
Importantly, this notice is labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and explicitly states it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS was announcing its intention to make an award (often to a specific partner) rather than running an open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals by a deadline. As a result, there is no standard application closing date for competing submissions, and the administrative purpose of the listing is primarily transparency about the planned cooperative agreement.
In summary, this grant notice describes a planned, single cooperative agreement (up to $98,000) to support an archeological site condition assessment in the Lake Canyon Grazing Allotment area of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, with eligibility restricted to qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits and with NPS expected to be actively involved in project execution.Apply for P17AS00478
