Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "National Register of Historic Places Documentation, Roger Williams National Memorial." The key point of this posting is that it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. In practical terms, this means the agency has already identified the intended partner or recipient and is publishing the notice to document the planned award and its justification, rather than inviting multiple applicants to compete.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution (for example, coordinating scope, reviewing deliverables, providing technical guidance, or helping shape the documentation approach). The project’s focus is National Register of Historic Places documentation connected to Roger Williams National Memorial, suggesting the funded work would involve researching, compiling, and preparing historical and architectural documentation suitable for National Register purposes. While the brief notice does not spell out tasks in detail, this kind of documentation commonly includes historical context development, evaluation of significance, boundary justification, integrity assessment, mapping, photography, and preparation of official nomination or supporting forms consistent with National Register standards.
The funding opportunity number for tracking is NPS 16 NERO 0198, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945. The posting indicates an anticipated single award, with an award ceiling of $25,000, meaning the maximum federal funding expected under this action is up to that amount. The timeline shown in the listing includes a creation date of August 30, 2016, and an original closing date of September 9, 2016; however, given that the notice is not soliciting applications, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative posting window than a competitive deadline.
Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in a separate field (not included in the text provided). That said, because this is a non-competitive notice of intent to award, eligibility categories are largely informational and do not imply that new applicants can apply or be considered under this specific announcement. Anyone looking for the full rationale, partner identification, or a detailed statement of work would need to review the attached or linked "Related Documents" referenced in the notice, which is where agencies typically provide the formal justification for awarding without full and open competition and the specifics of the planned project activities.
