Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00519
The grant opportunity titled "Complete a Preliminary Evaluation of Structural elements and ancient plasters at White House and Antelope House Ruin" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00519) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on protecting two major ancestral Puebloan sites at Canyon de Chelly National Monument (CACH): Lower White House Ruin and Antelope House. These are 12th century, pre-Contact structures that are intentionally preserved in a ruined state, yet they are continuing to deteriorate from ongoing exposure and site conditions. The central purpose of the project is to carry out a preliminary, on-the-ground evaluation of the ruins structural elements and remaining historic plasters so that the Park Service can clearly understand what is most at risk and what actions should be prioritized to slow loss and prevent failures.
The work described centers on site visits and condition assessments that combine direct visual inspection with technology-assisted evaluation methods and analysis. In practical terms, the partner would document and assess original architectural components and plastered surfaces, identify patterns of deterioration, and determine which areas are most vulnerable to near-term structural failure or significant plaster loss. The expected outcome is a risk-based prioritization: a clear list of the highest-risk components and the most urgent needs, supported by observations and collected data. Based on those findings, the project participants will develop proposed interventions that match the identified problems, with an emphasis on practical steps the NPS could take to address deferred maintenance at these highly significant sites. If funding and circumstances allow, the agreement also leaves room for testing select treatments on a limited basis to evaluate feasibility and effectiveness before any broader application.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically means the NPS expects to be actively involved in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding 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, indicating the NPS is looking for an academic partner with relevant expertise, such as historic preservation, architectural conservation, archeology, materials science, or structural assessment. The opportunity was created on August 13, 2018, with an original closing date of August 22, 2018, reflecting a short application window. The anticipated award structure is a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $105,750.
Overall, the grant is aimed at producing a defensible, well-documented preliminary evaluation that helps the NPS decide where to focus limited preservation resources first at White House and Antelope House. By pinpointing the site elements most likely to fail or lose irreplaceable plaster in the near future, the project supports more strategic planning, better-targeted maintenance and stabilization efforts, and a clearer path toward protecting some of the most important cultural resources within Canyon de Chelly.Apply for P18AS00519
