Opportunity Summary:
The "Propagation of Public Lands Enrichment Project" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00363) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding opportunity to be issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.608 (Environment). It was created on July 19, 2016, with an original closing date of July 25, 2016, and it is explicitly published as a Notice of Intent to Make an Award to the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office. Because it is a notice of intent and not a competitive solicitation, no competition is expected and other applicants are told not to respond. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $20,000.
The core purpose of the project is to support the SNPLMA Round 15 effort titled "Propagation of Public Lands Enrichment" by having the recipient work cooperatively with Federal Land Management Agencies. The work is centered on improving cultural resource site monitoring in public land settings. In practical terms, the scope focuses on collaborating with agency archaeologists to develop new site monitoring plans or update existing plans, ensuring those plans reflect a coordinated, consistent approach across the relevant monitoring areas. A key expected outcome is stronger and more usable monitoring information, achieved by improving how site stewards collect and report data so that monitoring results are more standardized, reliable, and actionable for land managers.
Another major emphasis of the work is coordination with law enforcement as part of responsible stewardship and protection of archaeological and cultural sites. The project calls for consultation with law enforcement to improve site steward data collection and to build working relationships between site stewards and law enforcement personnel for each monitoring area. This suggests the project is intended not only to improve technical monitoring plans and field data practices, but also to strengthen communication and response pathways when site damage, looting, vandalism, or other violations are observed. Overall, the opportunity is a small, targeted cooperative agreement intended to formalize and improve interagency coordination around archaeological site monitoring, data quality, and stewardship-enforcement collaboration on public lands in Nevada.
