Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00280

The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary funding notice titled "Managing Archeological Resources in High Visitor Use Corridors" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00280). The activity is framed as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordination on methods, deliverables, or on-the-ground implementation tied to NPS priorities. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the work does not fall neatly into a standard bucket like construction or basic research and is instead a specialized effort focused on applied cultural resource management in areas experiencing heavy visitor traffic.

This notice is not a general request for applications and is not being competed broadly. Instead, it is a notice of intent to award to Utah State University under an existing Master Agreement (P17AC01073). In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the intended recipient and the award pathway, and the posting functions mainly as a formal public record of the planned award rather than an open solicitation. Eligible applicants are identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the intended awardee being a public university.

Financially, the posting indicates an award ceiling of $35,000 and an expectation of a single award. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, which is used to classify and track federal assistance programs. The opportunity was created on June 1, 2018, and the listed "closing date" language reinforces that this is a notice of intent to award rather than an application window.

In terms of purpose, the title and brief description point to a project focused on managing and protecting archeological resources located in high visitor use corridors, meaning places where foot traffic, recreation, or concentrated visitation increases the risk of site disturbance, erosion, unauthorized artifact collection, or inadvertent damage. Projects under this kind of scope commonly involve identifying sensitive archeological areas, assessing current conditions and threats, prioritizing management actions, and developing practical strategies to reduce impacts while still supporting visitor access. Because the mechanism is a cooperative agreement with the NPS, the work would be expected to align closely with park management needs and may include coordination with park staff on field methods, data standards, reporting, and implementation approaches appropriate for national park settings.
