Opportunity Information: Apply for M23AS00432
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M23AS00432) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), through its Camarillo Office, under CFDA 15.444 (environment). The project is focused on preparing and submitting a nomination to list Morro Rock as a Traditional Cultural Place (TCP) on the National Register of Historic Places. Morro Rock, known as Lisamu in Chumash and Le'samo in Salinan, sits in San Luis Obispo County, California, and is recognized as a sacred place for multiple Native American Tribes whose ancestral territories include the Morro Bay area.
The central purpose is to elevate Morro Rock from its current recognition as a California landmark to formal listing on the National Register, which would help strengthen consideration and protection of the site in federal planning and review processes. A key driver mentioned in the announcement is the likelihood of future offshore wind energy development off the central California coast; having Morro Rock documented and listed as a TCP is intended to ensure the site receives stronger, clearer treatment during environmental reviews and cultural resource consultations connected to those developments.
Under the cooperative agreement, BOEM would provide financial support for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians (SYBCI) to carry out the research, documentation, and preparation required for a National Register nomination. The work is expected to be led by SYBCI cultural resource staff and to include collaboration with other Chumash and Salinan Tribes as part of the nomination process, reflecting the shared cultural significance of Morro Rock across Tribal communities. In addition to the tangible deliverable of a completed TCP nomination package, BOEM frames the agreement as an early step toward building stronger government-to-government relationships and more effective partnerships between the BOEM Pacific Regional Office and Tribal Nations.
This is not an open, competitive solicitation. The announcement is essentially a notice of intent describing a specific project that BOEM may fund through a cooperative agreement specifically with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, a federally recognized tribe. Any award depends on BOEM receiving an acceptable proposal from the intended partner. The listed eligible applicants include federally recognized tribal governments (and "others" is also noted), but the text makes clear that this particular funding action is designed for the SYBCI-BOEM cooperative agreement rather than for general applicant submissions. The opportunity had an original closing date of August 7, 2023, and an award ceiling of $250,000. Questions about the project and eligibility are directed to the specific point of contact identified in Section G of the announcement.Apply for M23AS00432
