Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Update Historic Resource Study: Homesteads and In-holdings." This notice functions as a public transparency posting rather than a competitive funding announcement. In other words, it is not asking organizations to apply, submit proposals, or compete for the work. Instead, it signals that NPS plans to move forward with a specific award to support defined project activities.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00342 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is labeled "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into standard categories and would be clarified in the opportunity's accompanying explanation field. The award is associated with CFDA number 15.945, a program identifier used in federal assistance listings.
NPS indicates it intends to fund the project without "full and open competition," meaning the agency is not conducting a broad competitive solicitation. The planned recipient is the University of California, Riverside (UCR), identified as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. The work would be carried out through Task Agreement P16AC01162 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676). CESU partnerships are commonly used by federal land-management agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and resource stewardship projects, which helps explain why the award is structured as a task agreement under an established cooperative framework.
Financially, the notice shows an award ceiling of $71,113 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posting date (creation date) is July 15, 2016. Because this is not a request for applications, there is no application deadline or closing date in the usual sense; the original closing date field explicitly states that it is not accepting applications.
While the notice does not provide detailed technical deliverables, the project title indicates the purpose: updating a Historic Resource Study focused on "homesteads and in-holdings." In NPS contexts, a Historic Resource Study is typically a scholarly and well-documented history of resources and themes tied to a park or related unit, often used to guide interpretation, preservation priorities, planning decisions, and compliance work. "Homesteads" generally refers to historic settlement and land-use patterns established through homesteading laws and related practices, while "in-holdings" usually describes parcels of non-federal land located within the boundaries of a federally managed area. Updating such a study would normally involve compiling and analyzing historical records, prior research, maps, land-ownership history, and other source materials to ensure the park has current, accurate documentation of these resources and their historical context.
Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the intended recipient (a public university). However, the key practical takeaway is that eligibility information is largely informational here because the agency is not soliciting competing applications. The notice primarily serves to inform the public that NPS intends to direct funds to UCR under an existing cooperative agreement structure to complete the update to the Historic Resource Study on homesteads and in-holdings.
