Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Automation and Management of Cultural Resources Information" (Funding Opportunity Number R14SS00007) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). It focused on supporting work that helps manage, organize, and modernize cultural resources information, particularly the kind of statewide historic property survey data and inventory records that State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) are required to maintain under federal law. The core justification for the funding is tied directly to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, specifically Section 101(b), which assigns SHPOs the responsibility to run historic preservation programs in coordination with federal agencies, conduct comprehensive statewide surveys of historic properties, and maintain inventories of those properties. Because states and their SHPO programs already have the legal mandate, institutional role, and experience maintaining these inventories, the announcement notes that the State is uniquely qualified and willing to carry out the services described.
Financially, the opportunity was small and highly specific: the estimated total funding was $20,000, with an award ceiling and floor also set at $20,000, indicating the Bureau of Reclamation expected to make a single fixed-size award. In line with that, the posting listed "Expected Awards: 1." There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was listed under Humanities, aligned with cultural affairs and cultural resources management.
Eligibility was broad on paper, covering a wide range of entities including state and local agencies, federally recognized Tribal governments, Native American organizations, public and private nonprofit organizations, educational or scientific organizations, quasi-public entities, small businesses, and even profit organizations and individuals, as long as they possessed the requisite professional qualifications. Even though eligibility categories were expansive, the narrative emphasizes the statutory role and existing infrastructure of the State/SHPO, which suggests the work was intended to be carried out by entities with direct responsibility for statewide cultural resource inventories or those working closely with them.
In terms of timing, the opportunity moved quickly. It was posted on May 15, 2014, and closed on May 28, 2014, with the archive date of May 29, 2014. That short window is typical of narrowly scoped discretionary awards, especially when the agency anticipates a limited applicant pool or has a well-defined project need. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Timothy Wagoner, Grants Officer at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3704.
