Opportunity Summary:
The Native American Technical Assistance Program (TAP) Yuma Area Office opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R11SF34003) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, specifically the Yuma Area Office. It seeks project proposals for federal Fiscal Year 2011 that support Tribal efforts to develop, manage, and protect water and related natural resources. The program is centered on practical, on-the-ground technical assistance and capacity building, with the goal of helping Tribes strengthen their ability to plan for, assess, and responsibly develop water resources on reservation lands.
The core purpose of this opportunity is to fund activities that provide direct technical support to Tribes. This can include working alongside Tribal technical staff, helping generate or interpret technical data needed for water resource assessment and planning, and supporting the development of tools or information that Tribes can use to make informed decisions about their water resources. The program also emphasizes training and knowledge transfer, meaning projects can focus on building Tribal expertise in areas like water management practices, resource protection strategies, and the technical skills needed to carry out long-term water and natural resource planning. The Yuma Area Office describes this assistance as something that can be delivered through direct participation, training, and partnering arrangements, reflecting an expectation of collaborative work rather than purely independent research.
Funding is available through grants, cooperative agreements, or other instruments, and the announcement anticipates making up to three awards. The total estimated funding is $90,000, with an award ceiling of $90,000 and an award floor of $100, indicating that project sizes may vary widely but cannot exceed the total amount listed. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible applicants and allows proposals to be judged primarily on their technical quality and the value of the work proposed.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized governments, and public, state-controlled, and private institutions of higher education. This mix of eligible applicants suggests the program is open both to Tribes applying directly and to Tribally aligned organizations or academic partners proposing work that directly supports Tribal water resource development and management needs.
Applications were to be evaluated by a technical panel and rated based on technical merit, with awards made to applicants deemed responsive, responsible, and eligible. The timeline for this particular cycle shows it was posted January 10, 2011, and closed March 1, 2011, with an archive date of March 31, 2011. The related CFDA number is 15.519 (Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection), which situates the opportunity within the federal assistance framework focused on Tribal water resources.
