Opportunity Summary:
The Grand Canyon Adaptive Management Program Tribal Participation grant (Funding Opportunity Number R14SS00006) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Upper Colorado Region). It was built to support long-term tribal participation in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP), which operates as a Federal Advisory Committee focused on how Glen Canyon Dam operations affect downstream resources in the Colorado River corridor, including the Grand Canyon. A central emphasis of this opportunity is strengthening communication and coordination among Indian tribes on cultural and historic preservation matters, specifically in line with Section 101 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). In practical terms, the grant is meant to help ensure tribal voices and responsibilities are consistently integrated into adaptive management discussions and decision processes where cultural resources may be affected.
The announcement describes the agreement as outlining duties and responsibilities between the Hualapai Tribe and the Bureau of Reclamation for ongoing participation in GCDAMP. While the eligibility language is broad (covering entities ranging from tribal governments and nonprofits to businesses and individuals with appropriate qualifications), the purpose statement is clearly tailored to supporting tribal engagement, with the Hualapai Tribe specifically referenced as a key participant. The work falls under cultural resources management (CFDA 15.511) and is categorized under the humanities/cultural affairs, indicating that the core outcomes relate to cultural stewardship, consultation, and preservation rather than infrastructure construction or purely scientific research.
Funding for the opportunity was expected to result in a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $175,000. The award ceiling is $175,000 and the floor is listed as $1, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would not be required to provide non-federal funds to receive the award. The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on May 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2014, and it was archived on June 3, 2014, reflecting a short application window typical of certain targeted or time-sensitive federal funding actions.
From a programmatic standpoint, the grant is designed to support sustained tribal participation in a formal advisory setting where operations at Glen Canyon Dam are reviewed and adjusted over time using monitoring results, stakeholder input, and resource objectives. By focusing on communication and cooperation regarding historic preservation under NHPA Section 101, the opportunity aligns with federal responsibilities to engage tribes in the identification, evaluation, and protection of historic properties and traditional cultural places, and to respect the government-to-government relationship in decisions that may affect tribal cultural resources. The intended benefit is a more consistent, informed, and coordinated tribal role in adaptive management conversations that can influence how dam operations balance ecological goals with protection of cultural landscapes and sites.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed federal contact was Timothy Wagoner, Grants Officer, Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3704.
