Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00424
The Notice of Intent: Lakeshore Archeological Site Condition Assessment (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00424) is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior, structured as a cooperative agreement. The project focuses on Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GLCA), specifically the Lake Powell shoreline, where archeological and other cultural resources can be affected by heavy visitation and water-based recreation. The core purpose is to generate up-to-date, on-the-ground information about the condition of known sites and to better understand how boating activity and shoreline use are contributing to wear, damage, or other changes over time.
A central deliverable is a systematic condition assessment effort covering at least 120 high-priority archeological sites along the lakeshore. These assessments are meant to document current site conditions in a consistent way, creating a baseline inventory that GLCA can use for future comparisons, trend tracking, and resource management decisions. In practical terms, the work supports identifying which places are most vulnerable, which are most frequently visited, and what kinds of impacts are occurring, so the park can prioritize where to monitor more closely and where to invest in protection, stabilization, mitigation, or treatment actions that help preserve sites while still supporting visitor use and enjoyment.
Beyond field assessments and the required report, the opportunity emphasizes public-facing outcomes and education. The data collected is intended to help GLCA develop interpretive materials and publications that explain to visitors why archeological site protection matters and how recreational behaviors can affect irreplaceable cultural resources. Another explicit goal is to improve the park's ability to assess the effects of water-based recreation on cultural resources, which can inform future management strategies, visitor guidance, and targeted stewardship messaging.
The project also has a strong youth engagement component. The recipient is expected to involve youth in hands-on resource stewardship through employment opportunities, building work experience while supporting the park's mission. In addition, the recipient will extend the reach of the project by disseminating results outside of typical National Park Service channels, helping the broader public understand the findings and encouraging responsible recreation and cultural resource awareness beyond the park context.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on June 22, 2017, with an original closing date of July 3, 2017. The award ceiling is listed as 1 (as provided in the source data), and the National Park Service anticipated making a single award. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.945. Eligibility is described as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the opportunity's eligibility text field.Apply for P17AS00424
