Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR UC 17 N005
The Automation and Management of Cultural Resources Information opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR UC 17 N005) is a cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region. Its core purpose is to improve how cultural resources information is shared, stored, and managed between Reclamation and the State of Colorado's Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. The project is framed as an intergovernmental effort to strengthen long-term stewardship of archaeological and historic property records by ensuring they are organized in appropriate databases and can be responsibly made available to qualified users.
This funding is explicitly tied to federal responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended through 2016 (54 U.S.C. 300101 et seq.). The description highlights two relevant mandates. First, 54 U.S.C. 306131(a)(1)(C) requires federal agencies to ensure that records and other data, including information generated through historical research and archaeological surveys or excavations, are permanently maintained in suitable databases and made available to potential users. Second, 54 U.S.C. 302303(a) and (b)(1) describes the role of State Historic Preservation Officers in administering statewide historic preservation programs in cooperation with federal agencies, including directing and conducting comprehensive statewide surveys of historic properties and maintaining inventories of those properties. In practical terms, the grant is meant to support the systems and workflows that allow these legal requirements to be met consistently and efficiently.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the opportunity is effectively aimed at Colorado because it relies on the State's established capacity to run and maintain a statewide survey and inventory of historic properties. The notice emphasizes that Colorado's Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation is uniquely positioned to perform the work because of its prior experience building and maintaining the state's cultural resources inventory and related data infrastructure, making it a logical partner for Reclamation to meet federal recordkeeping and information-sharing obligations.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which usually indicates that the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement or close coordination during the period of performance rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The activity is listed under "Other" in the funding activity category, reflecting that the work is specialized around cultural resources data management rather than fitting neatly into a standard program bucket. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.511. The posted award ceiling is $50,000, with one expected award, indicating a small, targeted effort focused more on specific data management outcomes than on broad multi-recipient program funding.
The timeline in the source listing shows the opportunity was created on April 21, 2017, with an original closing date of May 5, 2017. Overall, the grant is best understood as a focused partnership investment to automate and strengthen the management of cultural resources information so that both Reclamation and the State can maintain permanent, accessible records and uphold statewide inventory responsibilities required under NHPA.Apply for BOR UC 17 N005
