What the grant funds
REQUEST FOR STATEMENT OF INTEREST Number W9126G-21-2-SOI-4607 Project to be initiated in 2021 Applicants must be member in one of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Regions: Any CESU Region nationwide Project Title: Collection and Develoopment of Tribal Protocols Guidebook Responses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential investigators for a project to be funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) Legacy Resource Management Program which assists DoD in protecting and enhancing natural and cultural resources while enabling military readiness. Approximately $125,000 is expected to be available to support this project for the base period. There are no additional option periods. Background: The intent of this agreement is to collect extant tribal protocols from other Federal agencies for Federally recognized tribes as well as creating a guidebook to aid installations in the development of tribal consultation protocols. Personnel often lack references and examples to assist in creating consultation protocols with tribes. This collection of protocols and its accompanying guidebook will provide these references to improve and ease the development of consultation protocols. These are the tribal rules for communicating with agencies, including such things as proper titles of tribal leaders, appropriate gifts between leaders, appropriate seasons for consulting (many tribes have ceremonial seasons in which they cannot consult; these are often in fall and mid-winter associated with Winter Solstice ceremonies, but can also be related to spring planting and early fall harvesting), election cycles, Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) representation of the leaders or tribal council, appropriate times to visit tribal lands, other tribes with which tribes refuse to meet, etc. The project will work with entities recognized by tribes and may lead to follow-on work to further develop regional aspects of the collection and guidebook. Type of Award: In accordance with section 6305 – Using cooperative agreements of the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreements Act of 1977 (31 U.S.C. § 6301 et seq.), all CESU projects must carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation, instead of acquiring goods or services for the exclusive direct benefit of the United States Government. The benefit of this project is to the public including boaters, marina occupants, and resident of surrounding area.
