Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 28
The grant opportunity titled "Native American Cultural Resources Management Program NAFB, CAFB, and NTTR, Nevada" is a Department of Defense funding announcement (Omaha District) aimed at supporting cultural resources work that is closely coordinated with Native American tribes connected by history or culture to Nellis Air Force Base (NAFB). The core objective is to provide ongoing tribal consultation support and coordination so that the Air Force can meet its cultural resources responsibilities while ensuring that tribal perspectives and participation are built into how surveys, studies, and documentation are carried out. A key feature of the project is that Native Americans are intended to be included in surveys generally, and specifically included in Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) survey projects.
The scope of work is organized around several "base tasks" that focus on compliance-driven cultural resources management needs. First, the project is designed to complete archaeological inventory requirements in areas tied to priority mission needs, meaning locations where Air Force activities or planned projects require timely cultural resource review and survey work. Second, it calls for a comprehensive ethnographic study using a holistic approach to identify and better understand potential sacred sites and other areas of cultural importance. This portion of the work emphasizes culturally grounded information gathering, likely involving interviews, tribal knowledge, and contextual analysis that goes beyond standard archaeological field methods. Third, the opportunity includes analysis and recordation of the "built environment," which typically refers to historic buildings, structures, districts, and other constructed features that may have historical significance and require formal documentation. Fourth, it includes data gathering and data management tasks needed to satisfy Cultural Resources Management (CRM) requirements under Air Force Inspection (AFI) program mandates, signaling that the project is also meant to strengthen recordkeeping, documentation standards, and readiness for inspection or compliance review.
Beyond the required base tasks, the announcement lists optional tasks that broaden the support and engagement role of the award. These optional activities include participation in professional meetings and conferences, conducting tribal visits, serving on or supporting a document review committee, and providing project monitors. Taken together, these optional tasks suggest the program is meant not only to produce technical deliverables, but also to maintain active relationships, communication channels, and review processes that help ensure cultural resources decisions are informed and transparent.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number "NWO CESU 17 28" as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the government in coordinating or guiding the funded work compared to a standard grant. The activity category is listed as Environment and the CFDA number is 12.632. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $1,303,346. The posting date was July 28, 2017, and the original closing date was August 28, 2017. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement text.Apply for NWO CESU 17 28
