Additional Information

Agency Name: U.S. Mission to Georgia
Description: The United States Embassy in Georgia is accepting project abstracts for the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) 2018 Large Grants Program. The Program supports the preservation of major ancient archaeological sites, historic buildings and monuments, and major museum collections that are accessible to the public and protected by law in the host nation.

The AFCP Large Grants Program gives top priority to project activities that are appropriate and in keeping with international cultural heritage preservation standards. An appropriate preservation activity is one that protects the values of the site as they are understood by stakeholders. Stakeholders may include national, regional, or local cultural authorities; the local community; and others with vested interests in the site and the outcome of a project. Appropriate project activities may include:
• preventive conservation (addressing conditions that damage or threaten the site)
• stabilization (reducing the physical disturbance [settling, collapse, etc.] of a site)
• conservation (addressing damage or deterioration to a collection or sites)
• consolidation (connecting or reconnecting elements of a site)
• anastylosis (reassembling a site from its original parts)
• restoration (replacing missing elements to recreate the original appearance of a site, usually appropriate only with fine arts, decorative arts, and historic buildings).

The project abstract must include the following items:
A. Full and complete Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), including Budget Information for Non-Construction Programs (SF-424A), Assurances for Non-Construction Programs (SF-424B), and, if applicable, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities (SF-LLL)
B. Project Basics, including title, project dates, location, and site.
C. Project Applicant information, including contact information, DUNS Number, and SAM registration status.
D. Special Designations (national monument, World Heritage Site, etc.).
E. Law/s Protecting the Site or Collection (citations only).
F. Project Purpose that summarizes the project objectives and desired results.
G. Statement of Importance highlighting the historic, architectural, artistic, or cultural (non-religious) values of the site or collection.

2018 Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation Large Grants program consultation will be held on Wednesday, November 22, 2017, at 3 PM at the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi.
