Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Annotated Bibliography on African American Experience and the Creek War 1813-14" under funding opportunity number P16AS00589. The project was issued as a cooperative agreement in the education activity category (CFDA 15.945) and was created on August 31, 2016. The purpose of the effort is to support Horseshoe Bend National Military Park by producing an annotated bibliography focused on the African American experience connected to the Creek War of 1813-1814, building a structured, source-based research tool that park staff and partners can use for interpretation, education, and future scholarship.
The announcement is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. It is a formal Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it was published to provide public notice that the National Park Service planned to fund a specific federal financial assistance project without full and open competition. Because it is not a request for applications, there was no application deadline in the typical sense, and outside organizations were not being invited to submit proposals for consideration through an open competition process.
The work was described as a collaboration with Auburn University to develop the annotated bibliography for Horseshoe Bend National Military Park. While the notice does not list detailed tasks, an annotated bibliography in this context generally means compiling relevant primary and secondary sources and adding concise notes for each entry describing the content, scope, and usefulness of the source, often with attention to themes, perspectives, and research value. The topical focus on African American experiences in relation to the Creek War suggests the bibliography would highlight sources that illuminate the roles, impacts, and historical context of African Americans during the conflict and its aftermath, helping the park strengthen historical interpretation and educational programming.
Eligibility, as stated in the notice, is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the identified collaboration partner and the academic nature of the deliverable. The expected number of awards was one, with an award ceiling of $35,000, indicating a single, limited-scope project intended to produce a defined research product rather than support a broad multi-institution initiative.
