Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR GP 17 N001
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to Award Inadvertent Discoveries and Site Visits" under funding opportunity number BOR GP 17 N001. The notice was created on August 23, 2017, and carried an original closing date of September 6, 2017. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating activities, providing technical input, or participating in oversight beyond what would occur under a standard grant.
This notice is explicitly a notice of intent to award to Wichita State University, indicating Reclamation planned to make a single award rather than run a broad, open competition for multiple recipients. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $46,222, which effectively signals the maximum anticipated federal funding amount for this effort. The short description repeats the purpose and recipient: funding for "Inadvertent Discoveries and Site Visits" to Wichita State University.
The opportunity is categorized under the Humanities funding activity area, with a cross-reference to Cultural Affairs in CFDA, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.511. In practical terms, this type of categorization usually points to work connected to cultural resources, heritage, and related compliance responsibilities. The title "Inadvertent Discoveries and Site Visits" commonly aligns with activities carried out in support of cultural resource management, such as responding to unexpected finds encountered during ground-disturbing work and conducting site visits to document, evaluate, or monitor cultural or historic resources. While the notice text provided does not list specific tasks, deliverables, locations, or timelines, the framing strongly suggests a targeted effort to support Reclamation's responsibilities for cultural resource stewardship and compliance on or near project lands.
Although the eligible applicant list is broad and includes many types of entities (state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses), this particular notice is not functionally open in the usual sense because it identifies Wichita State University as the intended recipient. In other words, the eligibility language reflects the standard template for the program area, but the intent notice signals a directed award with a defined partner and a defined funding cap.
In summary, this is a 2017 Bureau of Reclamation notice announcing its intent to fund Wichita State University through a cooperative agreement, up to $46,222, for work described as "Inadvertent Discoveries and Site Visits" under CFDA 15.511, within a humanities/cultural affairs context, and with only one expected award.Apply for BOR GP 17 N001
