Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NCR Cultural Resources, Phase II CR-GIS Spatial Data Development" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00612) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior discretionary funding action being handled as a cooperative agreement. It is dated September 7, 2016, and is presented as a continuation or adjustment of previously authorized work rather than a newly competed, open call for fresh proposals. The description makes clear that this notice exists primarily to modify a prior Task Agreement, specifically P15AC01541, and that the earlier task agreement itself was originally competed under a broader Cooperative Agreement identified as P11AC30805. In other words, the opportunity is administrative in nature: it is tied to an existing agreement framework and is meant to adjust or extend the scope, funding, or terms of work that had already been established through earlier competitive processes.
The project focus, as reflected in the title, centers on cultural resources and GIS, specifically the development of CR-GIS spatial data for the National Capital Region (NCR). "Phase II" signals that this work builds on an earlier phase, typically implying continued data development, refinement, standardization, or expansion of previously created spatial datasets. In practical terms, cultural resources GIS spatial data development often includes compiling, cleaning, georeferencing, and documenting spatial information related to historic and archeological resources, cultural landscapes, and other protected or inventoried cultural assets. This kind of work commonly supports park planning, compliance, resource management, interpretation, and risk assessment by improving the accuracy and usability of spatial datasets and associated metadata.
The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on technical standards, review of deliverables, coordination of data stewardship practices, and alignment with NPS enterprise GIS and cultural resource data requirements. The activity category is labeled "Employment, Labor and Training" (CFDA 15.945), which can appear on opportunities where the work is conducted through higher education partners and may involve student training, internships, or workforce development components, even when the core deliverables are technical products like spatial databases and GIS layers.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That typically means state universities, public colleges, and similar government-controlled higher education entities are the intended recipients or partners. Because this notice is explicitly a modification to a previous task agreement, the practical effect is that the eligible applicant pool may be effectively constrained further to the institution already performing under the existing agreement, depending on how the original cooperative agreement and task agreement were structured.
Financially, the award ceiling is listed as $99,997, indicating the maximum anticipated federal funding amount associated with this modification. The posting lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which is consistent with a modification notice rather than a new award competition; modifications are usually processed as amendments to an existing award rather than counted as separate new awards. No standard closing date is provided because it is not being offered as a standard open solicitation; the "OriginalClosingDate" field reiterates that it is a modification to Task Agreement P15AC01541.
In summary, this opportunity is best understood as an administrative modification to an ongoing NPS cooperative agreement effort focused on Phase II development of cultural resources GIS spatial data for the National Capital Region. It carries a capped funding amount just under $100,000, is tied to prior competitively awarded agreements, and is directed toward public, state-controlled higher education partners working in collaboration with the NPS to produce or enhance GIS-ready cultural resource datasets and supporting documentation.
