Opportunity Summary:
The FY2016 Historic Preservation Fund - Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00041) is a federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It provides formula-based funding to support the work of Tribal Historic Preservation Offices in protecting and sustaining cultural and historic resources. The core purpose is to help THPOs carry out the responsibilities and authorities described in federal law under 54 USC 301 et seq., commonly referred to as the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), including amendments through 2006. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen a tribe's capacity to identify what is historically or culturally significant, evaluate and document those resources, and implement preservation activities that keep them protected for future generations.
The grant focuses on a broad range of preservation functions that THPOs typically perform. Supported activities include surveys and inventories that locate and record historic properties; evaluation efforts that determine significance and eligibility for recognition; education and outreach that build community awareness and stewardship; archeological work that documents and protects sites and materials; preservation planning that sets priorities and guides decision-making; and technical assistance that helps tribes navigate preservation standards and processes. The overall intent is to ensure tribes have the staffing, tools, and program infrastructure needed to manage cultural and historic preservation work on tribal lands and in contexts where the THPO has duties under the NHPA framework.
This is categorized as a discretionary grant using a grant funding instrument, and it falls under CFDA 15.904. Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, reflecting the program's purpose of supporting official tribal preservation programs. For FY2016, the opportunity anticipated making approximately 165 awards, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per award, indicating a widely distributed program intended to fund many tribal offices rather than a small number of large projects.
Key dates for this funding cycle include a posting and creation date of February 10, 2016, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of May 31, 2016. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at maintaining and improving the operational and programmatic ability of THPOs to perform identification, evaluation, and preservation responsibilities aligned with federal historic preservation requirements, while supporting tribal leadership and expertise in safeguarding cultural heritage.
