Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2015 NAGPRA Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the National Park Service through the National NAGPRA Program. Its purpose is to support work authorized under Section 10 of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), which allows the Secretary of the Interior to provide funding to help eligible entities carry out key NAGPRA responsibilities. In practical terms, the program is meant to move consultation and repatriation efforts forward by helping applicants identify, document, consult about, and ultimately return Native American cultural items to the appropriate communities. The cultural items covered under this grant include Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony.
Funding is aimed at activities that directly assist with consultation, documentation, and repatriation. That can include the kinds of tasks and costs that commonly slow down NAGPRA work, such as researching collections and records, compiling or improving documentation needed for cultural affiliation determinations, coordinating and conducting consultation with tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, and supporting the practical steps required to complete repatriation. The program is cataloged under CFDA number 15.922 (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), and it is structured specifically as a grant (not a cooperative agreement or contract). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, which can make it more accessible for applicants who do not have funds to contribute as a match.
The estimated total funding available for FY 2015 is $1,600,000. Individual awards range from a minimum (award floor) of $1 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $90,000 per award, indicating the program can fund both small, targeted projects and more substantial efforts within the cap. The opportunity was posted on October 1, 2014, with an original application deadline of March 11, 2015. The closing date was later extended, and the final application deadline became June 1, 2015. The opportunity was scheduled to be archived on August 1, 2015.
Eligibility is broad and includes entities that commonly manage collections or have responsibilities and interests tied to NAGPRA outcomes. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, and a range of government and educational entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. It also includes nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). This eligibility list reflects the fact that NAGPRA-related holdings and documentation responsibilities can sit across museums, universities, and government bodies, while consultation and repatriation must meaningfully involve tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations.
For applicants looking for detailed requirements, allowable cost guidance, and application instructions, the announcement points to an additional resource labeled "FY15 NAGPRA Grant Guidelines and Application." Questions and access issues related to the full announcement can be directed to the listed contact at the National Park Service: James Tucker, reachable at 202-354-2067 or hamptontucker@nps.gov.
