Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00374
The National Register Listing Update for Inscription Rock (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00374) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the formal historic recognition and protection of major archeological resources within El Morro National Monument in New Mexico. El Morro has been considered historically and scientifically important since well before it became a national monument, and it was originally protected through the Antiquities Act of 1906 when the monument was established by Presidential Proclamation. Its national significance was reinforced again in 1966 with the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the monument's administrative listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Even with that broader listing, however, only one standout resource inside the monument, Inscription Rock, has ever received its own individual National Register listing.
The core idea behind this grant is that individual National Register listings can offer practical benefits beyond a blanket, park-wide recognition. The opportunity emphasizes that specific listings help provide added protection for archeological sites and also create stronger interpretive opportunities, meaning they can support better public storytelling and visitor understanding about why these places matter. In other words, the project is not just paperwork; it is meant to tighten the link between preservation requirements and meaningful public interpretation of the monument's most significant cultural resources.
The work proposed under this funding is to evaluate the National Register eligibility of two fourteenth-century ancestral Puebloan sites within the monument: Atsinna and North Atsinna. The project would involve compiling and analyzing the documentation needed to determine whether these pueblos meet National Register criteria, and then preparing a complete National Register nomination for them. A successful nomination typically requires clearly defining the sites' boundaries, documenting integrity and condition, summarizing cultural and historical context, explaining significance under the relevant National Register criteria (for example, information potential for archeology), and providing maps, photographs, and supporting research that demonstrate why the sites merit individual recognition.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, using a cooperative agreement structure. That format generally means the Park Service expects to be actively involved during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back, so coordination, review, and shared responsibilities are usually part of the arrangement. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 15.945. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which signals that the Park Service was looking for an academic partner with professional expertise in archeology, historic preservation, and National Register documentation.
Financially, the opportunity set an award ceiling of $66,000 and anticipated making a single award. The posting was created on June 26, 2018, with an original closing date of July 5, 2018, indicating a short application window. Overall, the grant is narrowly targeted: it aims to produce a well-supported eligibility evaluation and a finished National Register nomination package for Atsinna and North Atsinna, improving long-term protection and expanding the interpretive foundation for visitors at El Morro National Monument.Apply for P18AS00374
