Opportunity Summary:
The American Institute of Architects cooperative agreement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI WASOR221020284) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice in the environment activity category. It was posted on June 19, 2012, and it is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning it is not a request for applications and is not being opened up for competitive proposals. Instead, the NPS is signaling its plan to make a single cooperative agreement award to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) to advance a specific program purpose: promoting the integration of historic preservation into both professional architecture practice and architecture degree programs. In practical terms, the intent is to strengthen how preservation principles, standards, and considerations are incorporated into the way architects are educated and how they operate in the field, aligning preservation goals with mainstream architectural training and practice.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The award floor is $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating the NPS was not requiring the recipient to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The assistance listing associated with the announcement is CFDA 15.954, titled National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which reflects the broader NPS mission areas this agreement supports, particularly outreach and education tied to conservation and preservation.
Eligibility information is included in the notice, listing nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants. However, because this is a Notice of Intent rather than a competitive solicitation, that eligibility statement functions more as a standard classification within the grants system rather than an invitation for multiple organizations to apply. The notice indicates the NPS is planning to award specifically to the American Institute of Architects, which implies a targeted partnership where the AIA would serve as the principal collaborator in carrying out the preservation-integration objective through its professional networks, continuing education reach, and influence on academic program development.
The timeline included in the listing shows an original and current closing date of June 25, 2012, with the archive date of July 25, 2012. These dates reflect the administrative posting window for the public notice rather than an application deadline in the usual sense, since the announcement is not soliciting applications. For anyone needing assistance accessing the full announcement or related materials, the listed point of contact is Sybil Winfield, Contracting Officer, reachable at 303-969-2076 or via email at sybilwinfield@nps.gov.
