Opportunity Summary:
The Grand Canyon Adaptive Management Program Tribal Participation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14SS00003) is a continuation grant offered by the Bureau of Reclamation under CFDA 15.511, Cultural Resources Management. It is designed to support ongoing tribal involvement in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP), specifically ensuring that tribal perspectives, cultural values, and resource concerns are meaningfully represented in long-term management decisions tied to Glen Canyon Dam operations. The underlying purpose is not just technical monitoring, but also sustained government-to-government engagement so that federal actions that could affect culturally important resources are informed by direct tribal participation.
The project described centers on the Zuni Tribe's long-term cultural and environmental monitoring work within areas influenced by Glen Canyon Dam. The Zuni have been involved in identifying, evaluating, and monitoring historic properties, sacred areas, and places of traditional Zuni cultural use that fall within the dam-affected corridor. The Zuni began formal implementation of their monitoring protocols in 2008, and the work has been carried out annually since then. This particular continuation proposal anticipated maintaining that established effort across the 2014 to 2017 period, essentially extending a proven monitoring program rather than launching a new one.
Activities funded under this opportunity focus on field-based observation and documentation guided by existing Zuni long-term monitoring protocols previously submitted to Reclamation in 2008. Key tasks include conducting a monitoring river trip to observe a wide range of resources identified in the tribal protocol, including traditional cultural properties, ancestral and archaeological sites, petroglyph locations, and culturally significant natural resources such as animals, insects, minerals, plants, shrines, trails, springs, river features, and water-related conditions. The work also includes defining and applying both quantitative and qualitative measurements for these resources, consistent with the established protocols, so the monitoring produces structured information that can be compared over time. A critical component is rapid reporting: the project requires documenting and reporting any observed impacts that may warrant an emergency response, supporting timely management action when sites or resources are threatened or damaged.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 10, 2014, with an application deadline of April 23, 2014, and it was archived April 24, 2014. The estimated total funding amount was $140,000, with an award ceiling of $140,000 (and a nominal floor of $1), and the agency expected to make one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was broad, including federally recognized tribal governments, state and local agencies, nonprofits, educational and scientific organizations, and other entities that can demonstrate the required professional capacity, though the project narrative clearly emphasizes tribal participation and the Zuni monitoring framework as the core of the continuation work.
