Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Kaibab Paiute Consortium Tribal Participation in the Grand Canyon Adaptive Management Program" (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS40001) is a discretionary grant offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, under CFDA 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). Its purpose is to support the Kaibab Paiute Consortiums direct participation in the Grand Canyon Adaptive Management Program as it relates to the effects of Glen Canyon Dam operations. The focus is cultural and environmental stewardship, specifically ensuring that tribal knowledge and interests are included in identifying, evaluating, monitoring, and participating on an equal footing in the long-term management of historic properties, sacred areas, and traditional cultural use locations tied to the Kaibab Paiute people within the area influenced by dam operations.
In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to fund tribal involvement in ongoing decision-making and technical processes that guide how resources in and around the Grand Canyon are managed when river flows and related conditions are shaped by Glen Canyon Dam. The funded work centers on cultural resources: locating and documenting places of importance, assessing their condition and vulnerability, tracking changes over time, and helping shape management responses. The language of the announcement emphasizes not just consultation, but equal participation in long-term management, signaling that the Consortiums role is meant to be active and continuous rather than limited to one-time input.
The program is structured as a grant with an expected single award. The estimated total funding is $495,000, with an award ceiling of $495,000 and an award floor of $1, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is listed as Environment, reflecting the connection between dam operations, river management, and impacts to cultural landscapes and sites. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any applicant type unless further limitations are described elsewhere in the full announcement, though the project description clearly indicates the work is oriented around participation by the Kaibab Paiute Consortium in this specific adaptive management context.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on October 4, 2012, created the same day, with an original closing date of October 19, 2012, and a current closing date of October 18, 2012. The archive date is October 25, 2012, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation.
