Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR UC 18 N008
The "Glen Canyon Adaptive Management Program - Zuni" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR UC 18 N008) is a discretionary Bureau of Reclamation grant under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on protecting and responsibly managing cultural and natural resources in the Grand Canyon region that may be affected by operations of Glen Canyon Dam. The funding is tied to the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP), which exists to support long-term stewardship and decision-making consistent with major federal cultural resource protection laws, especially the Grand Canyon Protection Act of 1992 and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended). In plain terms, the opportunity supports work that helps ensure dam operations and associated management actions do not inadvertently harm historic properties, sacred places, or culturally important landscapes and uses downstream.
A key driver behind this grant is the Bureau of Reclamation's determination that operating Glen Canyon Dam under the 2016 Record of Decision for the Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan constitutes a federal "undertaking" that could alter the character of historic properties below the dam. Because of that potential effect, Reclamation and its partners rely on a formal Programmatic Agreement to guide compliance and consultation. That agreement includes multiple signatories and consulting parties, including the National Park Service (Western and Rocky Mountain Regions), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Officer, and several Tribes, specifically including the Pueblo of Zuni. The underlying intent is to make consultation systematic and meaningful rather than ad hoc, with clear expectations for identifying, evaluating, and treating historic properties that matter to Tribes.
The opportunity is specifically aimed at supporting the Pueblo of Zuni's participation in GCDAMP-related activities. The description emphasizes that Zuni involvement is essential so tribal values are present in the program's technical and policy discussions, and so there is effective government-to-government consultation when federal actions could affect Zuni cultural resources. The grant is connected to work such as identifying and evaluating historic properties, monitoring culturally sensitive areas, and contributing to long-term management decisions for historic properties, sacred areas, and places of traditional Zuni cultural use within the area influenced by Glen Canyon Dam operations. The emphasis is not only on documentation, but also on ensuring Zuni perspectives meaningfully shape how management and compliance decisions are made over time.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a grant (not a cooperative agreement stated here) categorized under Natural Resources, with CFDA number 15.511. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the structure of the listing indicates this particular award is intended for the Zuni Pueblo, with one expected award. The award ceiling is $692,000, signaling support substantial enough to cover sustained participation, coordination, monitoring, consultation activities, and the related cultural resource efforts required by the GCDAMP and the Programmatic Agreement framework. The posting date is January 9, 2018, with an original closing date of January 23, 2018, reflecting a time-limited application window typical of targeted or single-recipient tribal consultation support actions.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as capacity and participation funding that allows the Pueblo of Zuni to engage as an equal, ongoing partner in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program. Its core purpose is to ensure that as dam operations and experimental management actions proceed, tribal cultural concerns are represented early and consistently, and that federal compliance obligations for protecting historic properties and culturally significant areas are met through structured consultation and active tribal involvement.Apply for BOR UC 18 N008
