Opportunity Summary:
The Grand Canyon Adaptive Management Program Tribal Participation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14SS00002) is a continuation grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It supports ongoing tribal participation in natural and cultural resource work tied to the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program, with a specific emphasis in this announcement on continuing the Hopi Tribe's long-term monitoring effort for resources of traditional cultural value in the Grand Canyon, referred to in Hopi as ngtupqa.
The project described builds directly on a set of monitoring protocols the Hopi Tribe developed and documented in 2007 in "A Hopi Long term Monitoring Program for ngtupqa (The Grand Canyon)." Those protocols were formally presented to, and approved by, the Technical Work Group of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program on June 25, 2007. After that approval, the Hopi Tribe carried out its first official year of monitoring implementation in 2008, and the announcement states that the work has continued annually since then. The purpose of the 2014 opportunity is to keep that established monitoring program operating, anticipating continued implementation for the period 2014 through 2017.
The core activities to be funded are straightforward and operational in nature, centered on field monitoring, organizing information, and applying standardized methods. First, the Hopi Tribe is expected to continue conducting annual resource monitoring trips, meaning recurring field visits to observe, document, and track the condition or status of culturally important resources within the Grand Canyon area. Second, the opportunity includes "legacy data entry," which involves examining and compiling all available data sources related to the state of those resources, essentially consolidating historic and previously collected information so it can be used alongside new observations. Third, standardized surveys are to be conducted following the specific procedures laid out in the 2007 monitoring program document. The survey results, along with supplementary interview information gathered during the work, are to be entered into Hopi monitoring databases, reinforcing the expectation that the program maintains an organized, usable data system over time rather than producing only isolated field notes.
The main listed deliverable is an annual report, indicating that each year of work should be summarized in a formal product that documents what was done, what was found, and what data were added or updated. While the announcement text is brief, the emphasis on standardized protocols, database entry, and annual reporting signals that the funding is intended to sustain a consistent multi-year monitoring record that can inform adaptive management discussions and decisions related to dam operations and associated environmental and cultural resource conditions.
Administratively, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) categorized as a continuation opportunity, with an activity category of Natural Resources and a CFDA listing of 15.511 related to Cultural Resources Management. The announcement anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $140,000 and an award ceiling of $140,000 (award floor listed as $1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted April 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2014, and an archive date of April 24, 2014.
Eligibility is described broadly, covering state and local agencies, public and private nonprofit institutions, other public and private organizations, small businesses, profit organizations, quasi-public nonprofits, educational or scientific organizations, individuals, and Federally recognized Indian Tribal governments and Native American organizations, among others, as long as the applicant possesses the requisite professional requirements. For practical purposes, the narrative focus of the announcement is clearly tied to continuing the Hopi Tribe's established monitoring program, but the eligibility language is written to encompass a wide set of potential applicant types.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Timothy Wagoner, Grants Officer at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3704.
