Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Cultural Resources Discoveries and Sites Visits" under Funding Opportunity Number BOR GP 16 N003. The award was offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Bureau of Reclamation expected to have substantial involvement in how the project is carried out (for example, coordinating activities, providing technical direction, or collaborating on deliverables), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
This opportunity was categorized under Humanities, referenced through the Cultural Affairs area in the CFDA framework, and was listed under CFDA number 15.511. While the title is brief, it signals that the work would likely focus on identifying, documenting, evaluating, or otherwise engaging with cultural resources, including discoveries made during Bureau of Reclamation activities, and organizing or conducting site visits tied to those resources. In typical federal cultural resources contexts, "cultural resources" can include archaeological sites, historic structures, traditional cultural properties, and other heritage assets that may require documentation, interpretation, or compliance-related review.
Eligibility was not limited to a standard short list like states or universities; instead, it was labeled as "Others," with the note that interested parties would need to review the opportunity's "Additional Information on Eligibility" section for the specific eligible entity types. This kind of eligibility designation often indicates that organizations such as non-profits, tribes, local entities, educational institutions, or other partners could potentially qualify, depending on the program rules and the agency's stated criteria in the full announcement.
The posting was created on August 23, 2016, and had an original application deadline of September 6, 2016, indicating a relatively short submission window. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $121,000, meaning the maximum amount available for that one cooperative agreement was set at $121,000. Overall, the announcement points to a focused, single-project effort led in partnership with the Bureau of Reclamation to support work related to cultural resource discoveries and the planning or execution of site visits connected to those resources.
