Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Southern Nevada Agency Partnership, Cultural Site Stewardship Program - Steward Retention and Program Transfer" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action intended to support ongoing cultural resource protection work in Southern Nevada, specifically in Clark County. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under an environmental program area and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to National Park System resources. The central purpose is to maintain and strengthen a community-based cultural site stewardship effort by building a trained volunteer workforce that can regularly monitor assigned cultural sites on federal public lands.
A key point about this notice is that it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a non-competitive award to The Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, on behalf of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), operating through the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practice, that means the NPS had already identified the recipient and planned to transfer or continue the program through this specific institutional partner rather than solicit proposals from multiple organizations.
The project itself is described as collaborative and community-focused. Its main activities revolve around recruiting local community members, providing training, managing volunteer participation, and improving retention so that volunteers remain engaged over time. Those volunteers form a voluntary monitoring workforce tasked with regularly visiting and observing designated cultural sites. Regular monitoring is typically used to detect changes, document site conditions, spot signs of vandalism or unauthorized activities, and provide timely information to land managers so they can respond appropriately and protect sensitive cultural resources.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which indicates the federal funding could cover the full project costs as negotiated in the cooperative agreement. The announcement anticipates a single award, consistent with the non-competitive intent to fund only the identified partner institution.
Eligibility is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the selected recipient (UNLV via the Nevada System of Higher Education). The timeline details indicate the notice was posted and created on February 14, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 17, 2012, and an archive date of February 18, 2012. Because this was not an open application process, the short window functions more as a formal public notice period than a true proposal submission period.
