Opportunity Summary:
The Andersonville National Historic Site Crew opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00111) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) cooperative agreement focused on youth engagement and workforce development through hands-on conservation and cemetery preservation work at Andersonville National Historic Site. It sits under the Education funding activity category (CFDA 15.931) and is designed to give a young adult crew practical training and supervised experience while completing priority resource-management tasks at the park.
The core objective is educational and skills-based: participants receive instruction and on-the-ground training in invasive species management, addressing overgrown vegetation that is restricting water flow and contributing to flooding, and performing grave restoration and headstone alignment within the national cemetery. In other words, the project combines ecological stewardship (controlling invasive plants and improving drainage conditions by clearing problematic vegetation) with cultural and historic resource care (restoring gravesites and ensuring headstones are properly aligned), giving crew members exposure to conservation practices, safety procedures, and standards used in national park settings.
Funding is capped at $57,800 with an expected single award. The notice is dated April 15, 2016 (creation and posting date), and it is explicitly a notice of intent for a restricted award rather than an open competition. As stated in the listing, it is not a request for applications and therefore does not function like a typical grant solicitation with a true application deadline; both the original and current closing date fields reflect that status.
Eligibility is limited and somewhat specialized. The listing identifies eligible applicants as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and other entities as described in the opportunity’s additional eligibility information. The use of a cooperative agreement also signals that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation, such as coordinating site priorities, providing technical direction, and ensuring work is carried out in accordance with NPS requirements for natural and cultural resource protection.
Overall, this opportunity supports a targeted youth crew initiative at Andersonville National Historic Site, pairing structured learning and job-skill development with tangible improvements to site conditions, including better management of invasive species and vegetation-related drainage issues, as well as careful preservation work in the national cemetery through grave restoration and headstone alignment.
