Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Management, protection, and research of chacoan sites on lands under the jurisdiction of the Navajo Nation" is a National Park Service (NPS) cultural resources funding action focused on supporting work at Chacoan archaeological and cultural sites located on Navajo Nation lands. The opportunity is issued as a Notice of Intent, meaning it is not a broad, open competition but rather an announcement that the NPS plans to make a specific award through an already-established partnership mechanism.

In practical terms, the NPS intends to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement specifically to the Navajo Nation. The purpose is clearly defined: management, protection, and research activities related to Chacoan sites. While the notice does not list individual tasks in the summary data provided, the stated scope suggests efforts that typically include on-the-ground site stewardship, measures to prevent damage or looting, monitoring and documentation, and research activities that improve understanding of these places while supporting responsible preservation. The emphasis on sites "under the jurisdiction of the Navajo Nation" highlights that the work is meant to be carried out in a government-to-government context, respecting tribal authority and ensuring that site care and research are aligned with Navajo Nation priorities and oversight.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as "Cultural Resources," and the associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) listing is 15.946, Cultural Resources Management. The opportunity anticipates a single award, consistent with the Notice of Intent format and the identification of the Navajo Nation as the intended recipient.

Financially, the estimated total funding amount is $102,406. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which often appears in postings where the agency is not using the standard competitive range fields or where the key figure is the total anticipated amount rather than a per-application range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory match as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, but the eligibility information makes clear that this notice is specifically directed to the Navajo Nation under an existing cooperative agreement. The posting dates also reflect the limited-intent nature of the action: it was posted on January 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 6, 2014, and an archive date of January 7, 2014, indicating a very short public window typical of notices that announce an intended, already-identified award rather than inviting new applicants to compete.

For access or assistance related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122.
