Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00382
The FY2017 Historic Preservation Fund - Tribal Historic Preservation Offices opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00382) is a National Park Service grant program under the U.S. Department of the Interior designed to support Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPOs) in protecting and managing important cultural and historic resources. It provides formula-based funding to help THPOs carry out their responsibilities under federal historic preservation law, specifically 54 USC 301 et seq., commonly referred to as the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1996, as amended through 2006. The program focuses on practical preservation work that tribes undertake to identify, evaluate, and preserve significant sites, places, and resources with cultural and historic value.
The grant is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses a grant funding instrument, listed under CFDA 15.904. Funding is intended to strengthen the capacity of THPOs to run preservation programs on tribal lands and, more broadly, to ensure that tribal perspectives and priorities are fully integrated into historic preservation planning and compliance activities. Supported activities include resource surveys and inventories, evaluation and documentation of historic properties, education and outreach efforts, archeological work, preservation planning, and the provision of technical assistance. In effect, this funding helps tribes maintain systems and expertise for locating and recording cultural resources, developing preservation priorities, and engaging in informed stewardship that reflects tribal history and values.
Eligible applicants are federally recognized Native American tribal governments, with eligibility also indicating that additional applicant types may be allowed as clarified in the full eligibility guidance. The opportunity was posted on June 16, 2017, with applications due by 11:59 pm Pacific Time on August 31, 2017. The anticipated maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $150,000, and the program expected to make around 170 awards, indicating broad distribution across many THPOs rather than a small number of large grants. Overall, this funding opportunity is structured to provide consistent support to tribal preservation programs so they can continue core activities like surveying and documenting resources, planning and prioritizing preservation actions, conducting education and archeology where appropriate, and meeting statutory responsibilities connected to the NHPA.Apply for P17AS00382
