Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Anasazi Basket Analysis for NAGPRA Purposes" (Funding Opportunity Number R12SS40042) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, as a continuation grant within the environmental funding activity area under CFDA 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). Its central purpose is to fund a specialized, written technical study of basketry associated with two Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs, with the analysis designed to support compliance work under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The project focuses on documenting and interpreting basket-making technology represented in the reservoir collections and then systematically comparing those technological characteristics with basketry traditions connected to 15 federally recognized Indian tribes that have asserted cultural affiliation with the materials from the reservoirs. The resulting basketry analysis is intended to function as one line of evidence among several used to assess and determine cultural affiliation as defined by NAGPRA and the implementing regulation at 43 CFR 10.2(e), meaning the work is meant to contribute to legally grounded determinations rather than serve as a stand-alone conclusion.
Financially, the announcement indicates a single expected award totaling $44,123, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $44,123, suggesting a fixed project budget rather than a competitive range. No cost sharing or matching was required. The opportunity was posted on August 29, 2012, with an application closing date of September 11, 2012, and it was archived the following day, September 12, 2012. Eligibility was broad and included federally recognized tribal governments, state and local agencies, educational and scientific organizations, public and private nonprofit institutions, small businesses, for-profit entities, minority and specialized groups, quasi-public nonprofits, other private organizations, and individuals, provided applicants could demonstrate the professional qualifications needed to conduct the work. In other words, the program was open to a wide set of potential performers, but the underlying expectation was that the selected applicant would have the expertise to carry out careful basketry technology analysis suitable for use in a NAGPRA cultural affiliation assessment.
For assistance or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Timothy Wagoner, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation (phone 801-524-3704).
