Opportunity Summary:
The Administrative History for Stones River National Battlefield grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00308) was a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice connected to a single, specific project: producing an administrative history for Stones River National Battlefield (STRI). Rather than soliciting proposals through a competitive application process, the announcement served as a public notice of NPS intent to fund work without full and open competition through a cooperative agreement with the University of Tennessee, operating as a partner under the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit.
The core purpose of the project was to provide research and advisory assistance that would help park leadership understand the historical context behind how the battlefield has been developed, managed, and protected over time. The resulting administrative history was intended to compile essential historical facts while also drawing attention to earlier policy issues, significant events, and management decisions that shaped the park. In practical terms, the study was meant to function as a decision-support resource, giving current and future STRI managers a well-documented reference for making informed choices about stewardship of both natural resources and cultural resources.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity fell under the “Discretionary” category and used a “Cooperative Agreement” as the funding instrument, reflecting an arrangement where the NPS and the partner organization typically have substantial involvement during the project. The activity category was listed as “Science and Technology and other Research and Development,” and it was associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The estimated total funding amount was $75,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Only one award was expected.
Key dates indicated the opportunity was posted and created on August 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 11, 2014, and an archive date of September 30, 2014. Because this was explicitly “not a request for applications,” the closing date functioned more as a formal notice timeline than a standard submission deadline for prospective applicants.
Eligibility details reinforced that this was a directed award: while the listing mentioned private institutions of higher education and “others” (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice), the text made clear that the intended recipient was the University of Tennessee under Cooperative Agreement P14AC00882. The scope of work specifically included writing and formatting for publication of the administrative history.
