Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00323
This grant opportunity, titled "Ethnographic Overview and Assessment" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00323), is a National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on producing an Ethnographic Resource Report for Natural Bridges National Monument. In this context, an "ethnographic resource" means any natural or cultural resource, landscape, or natural feature that an associated ethnic community connects to its traditional practices, values, beliefs, history, and/or ethnic identity. The central aim of the project is to identify and document these ethnographic resources within a defined study area by compiling what is already known from existing records, then strengthening that baseline documentation through on-the-ground verification such as site visits and/or interviews with representatives of selected, associated ethnic communities.
The work is intended to result in a foundational cultural resource document, consistent with National Park Service cultural resource management guidance (including DO-28, Cultural Resource Management Guidelines). The report is meant to help the park meet federal legal and policy responsibilities, including compliance and planning needs under the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, as well as related implementing standards and regulations such as the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation rules for the protection of historic properties and the Secretary of the Interior's standards and guidelines for archeology and historic preservation. In practical terms, the assessment is designed to give the park credible, organized information it can use during planning and decision-making so that ethnographically important places and resources are recognized early and considered appropriately.
A major emphasis of the project is strengthening public education and interpretation by improving how the monument tells the story of Native American tribes' traditional connections to the Natural Bridges landscape. While the final products are generally intended to be publicly accessible, the opportunity explicitly notes that sensitive cultural information, or other information determined necessary to keep confidential, will be protected rather than released broadly. The expectation is that the report and recommendations will support park staff in several concrete ways: improving public understanding of the deep and ongoing tribal connections to lands and features within the monument, helping the National Park Service better anticipate how its actions could affect those connections, guiding the development of culturally sensitive interpretive programs and materials, supporting respectful and appropriate responses to tribal requests to use certain park places or resources, and ensuring that impacts to ethnographic resources are fully considered during park planning activities.
Administratively, this was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under CFDA number 15.945, with eligibility limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. It anticipated a single award with a funding ceiling of $199,997. The opportunity was posted on June 13, 2018, with an original closing date of June 22, 2018, indicating a relatively short application window and a focused, project-specific award intended to deliver one comprehensive ethnographic overview and assessment for Natural Bridges National Monument.Apply for P18AS00323
