The National Park Service (NPS) awarded a Cooperative Agreement totaling $337,451.68 to The Great Basin Institute (Nevada Conservation Corps division) under the Cultural Resources Management program (CFDA 15.946) on September 16, 2025, with completion targeted for December 31, 2028. The award supports a broad range of cultural resource stewardship activities primarily at park level, including inventory, monitoring, research, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, and documentation of historic resources. The Great Basin Institute will deploy Historic Preservation Technicians and Specialists to provide complete documentation of historic buildings, structures, features, and objects to Department of Interior (DOI) standards, assist with Section 106 compliance mitigation stipulations, and implement treatment and repair work on historic structures to prevent loss and ensure visitor and resource safety.

The cooperative agreement benefits multiple categories of stakeholders, including state and local governments, federally recognized Indian tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, educational and scientific institutions, and individuals. This award reflects NPS's established pattern of funding cooperative agreements—which comprise 99 percent of awards under CFDA 15.946—to address the full scope of cultural resource stewardship across the National Park System. The Institute's expertise in applied conservation work and documented track record of delivering cultural resource management services across multiple NPS regions positions it as a capable implementer of these preservation and documentation activities.
