Through direct participation, training, and partnering, YAO provides financial and technical assistance in the field of water resource development and management. This may take many forms from assisting Tribal technical experts to providing the technical data necessary to assess, plan, and develop on-reservation water resources. Assistance may also be provided through training to enhance the Tribes’ knowledge and expertise in the use, protection, and development of resources.It is anticipated that up to three awards of a grant or cooperative agreement will be made to a responsive, responsible and eligible recipient based on technical merit. Cost sharing or cost matching is not required. Applications will be reviewed, evaluated and rated by a technical panel.
