Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00565
The National Park Service, within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice for a cooperative agreement action titled "Archeological Monitor, Death Valley National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00565). The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.931) and is tied to Death Valley National Park's need to move forward on a set of deferred maintenance and infrastructure projects. Because these projects involve ground disturbance and construction activity, the park identified a need for a professional archeological monitor to be present during work to protect cultural resources and ensure compliance with approved project boundaries.
The purpose of the archeological monitor role is practical and field-focused. The monitor is expected to ensure construction stays inside the footprint of the approved work zone, which helps prevent inadvertent impacts to archeological sites or materials that may exist near or within the broader project area. The monitor is also described as escorting equipment in and out of the work zone, a duty that typically supports both resource protection and clear coordination between construction crews and cultural resource compliance requirements. Overall, the position is meant to safeguard cultural resources from damage or loss that could occur during maintenance and construction activities, which is a common risk when heavy equipment and earthmoving are involved.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and functions instead as a notice of intent to award funding under an existing cooperative agreement with GBI. In other words, the National Park Service is disclosing that it plans to fund a specific project through an already-established partnership mechanism rather than soliciting new proposals from the public. Although eligible applicants are listed as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the structure and wording make clear that the funding is directed through an existing agreement rather than open competition.
In terms of funding specifics, the listed award ceiling is $39,898. The posting shows an expected awards value of 0, which is consistent with notices that are published for transparency even when they are not seeking applications or making a new open call. The opportunity was created on July 27, 2017, with an original closing date of August 10, 2017, reflecting the window for the public notice period rather than an application deadline in the typical sense.
In summary, this opportunity concerns funding for archeological monitoring services at Death Valley National Park to support deferred maintenance infrastructure work while preventing harm to cultural resources. It is a National Park Service cooperative agreement action announced as a notice of intent to award under an existing agreement, with funding up to $39,898, rather than a competitive opportunity inviting new applicants.Apply for P17AS00565
