Opportunity Information: Apply for NEAPPD NEAPPD 16 001
The FY 2017 Safeguarding the Heritage of the Near East Initiative Collaborative Services Award is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity designed to strengthen efforts to protect and preserve cultural heritage that has been placed at severe risk by conflict and instability in the Near East. The opportunity is jointly associated with the Department of State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Office of Press and Public Diplomacy (NEA/PPD) and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Cultural Heritage Center (ECA/CHC). Its focus is on addressing the unusually difficult, urgent conditions faced by governments and nongovernmental organizations trying to safeguard heritage in Syria, Iraq, and Libya, where ancient and historic places and collections have been threatened by damage, looting, trafficking, and destruction.
The central purpose of the award is to support collaborative services that help preserve irreplaceable cultural resources such as monuments, objects, and archaeological sites. The underlying rationale is that cultural heritage is not only historically significant, but also socially valuable in the present: it helps communities maintain connections to their origins, supports cultural identity, and enriches the broader world by preserving evidence of human history and creativity. The Cultural Heritage Center's role in this space is emphasized in the announcement, reflecting its specialization in protecting and preserving patrimony internationally and its experience working across multiple fronts to help partner countries safeguard vulnerable heritage assets.
This is a discretionary grant competition and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, working closely with the recipient on planning, coordination, or implementation decisions). The funding activity category is listed as education, reflecting the public diplomacy and cultural/educational orientation of the effort, even though the practical work supported may include applied heritage protection and preservation services.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipates making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of $900,000. The CFDA number associated with the program is 19.021. The opportunity was created on August 18, 2016, and the original application closing date was September 2, 2016, indicating a relatively short submission window typical of time-sensitive initiatives.
In practical terms, applicants would be expected to propose a coherent, partnership-oriented approach that measurably improves capacity or outcomes for heritage safeguarding in the targeted countries. Because the announcement frames the need as an "extraordinary challenge" for both governments and NGOs, strong proposals would generally be expected to demonstrate credible coordination with relevant stakeholders, an understanding of on-the-ground constraints, and a clear plan for delivering collaborative services that help prevent loss of cultural patrimony and support longer-term preservation efforts.Apply for NEAPPD NEAPPD 16 001
