Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00281
The grant opportunity titled "Stabilization of Archeological Structures, Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument FY 2017" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00281) is a National Park Service project under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on preserving significant historic resources at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. The work centers on the Quarai Mission complex, which is described as one of the best-preserved examples of early Spanish Mission architecture in the American Southwest. The core purpose is cyclic stabilization, meaning recurring preservation and repair actions intended to keep archeological and architectural remains structurally sound over time rather than treating stabilization as a one-time fix.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, indicating the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity is categorized under Education and Natural Resources, reflecting the public stewardship role of the NPS and the fact that preserving a prominent mission site supports both resource protection and visitor learning. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.931.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS and are not institutions of higher education. The announcement indicates an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $53,749, which suggests a narrowly scoped, targeted project budget aimed at specific stabilization tasks rather than a large multi-year construction effort.
A key administrative point is that the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is being published solely to give the public notice of the National Park Service's intent to fund the project activities without competition. In practice, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient or partnership structure and was not soliciting proposals from other organizations. The opportunity was created on May 22, 2017, and instead of a standard closing date, it includes the noncompetitive intent statement as the controlling timeline information.
Overall, the opportunity is essentially a public notice of a planned, single cooperative agreement award to support ongoing stabilization work at the Quarai Mission complex, helping protect a nationally significant archeological and architectural resource while reinforcing the site's long-term preservation and interpretive value.Apply for P17AS00281
