Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00551
The National Park Service (Department of the Interior) issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: Lakeshore Archeological Site Condition Assessment" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00551) to support a focused cultural resources project in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, specifically along the Lake Powell shoreline. The work centers on understanding and documenting how water-based recreation, especially visitation by boaters, is affecting archeological resources in this heavily used lakeshore environment. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would be expected to coordinate closely with the NPS during planning, fieldwork, and reporting.
The core deliverable is a condition assessment of known archeological sites along the shoreline, with an emphasis on sites considered high priority due to vulnerability, visitation levels, or management concern. At least 120 individual site condition assessments are expected, indicating a substantial field component with standardized documentation of site status, observed impacts, and likely threats. The results are intended to produce a formal report that captures current conditions and provides a baseline dataset the park can use to track future change, compare impacts over time, and better target monitoring and protection efforts.
Beyond documentation, the opportunity is framed around practical management outcomes. The collected inventory and evaluation data are meant to help GLCA do three things more effectively: first, develop interpretive materials and publications that explain to visitors why archeological site protection matters; second, evaluate the specific effects of water-based recreation on cultural resources (for example, shoreline access, anchoring, camping, foot traffic, artifact collection, or unintentional damage); and third, identify which sites are both vulnerable and frequently visited so the park can prioritize preservation strategies. Those strategies can include monitoring plans, mitigation steps, and treatment measures designed to reduce damage while still allowing for appropriate visitor enjoyment.
A key feature of the project is youth engagement. The recipient is expected to involve young people directly through employment opportunities tied to the work, positioning the project as both a resource protection effort and a workforce development or stewardship initiative. This adds a public service dimension by building skills and conservation awareness while supporting on-the-ground cultural resource management.
Public communication is also part of the scope. In addition to providing information for internal NPS use, the recipient is expected to share project results with broader audiences outside typical NPS channels. That could include community presentations, partner networks, educational outreach, or other dissemination methods that raise awareness of shoreline archeology, highlight recreation-related impacts, and encourage responsible visitation.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 20, 2018, with an original closing date of August 30, 2018. The program is listed under CFDA 15.945, with one award expected and an award ceiling of $83,123.
