Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Archaeological Research and Investigation at Eastern Front Unit, Petersburg National Battlefield" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00221) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on cultural resources work at the Eastern Front Unit of Petersburg National Battlefield in Petersburg, Virginia. The project is framed as an archeological research study intended to generate site-specific information about archeological sites and features that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D, which covers properties that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, important information about prehistory or history. In practical terms, the funding supports professional archeological investigation aimed at identifying, documenting, and evaluating battlefield-related archeological resources that could contribute meaningful data to historical understanding and resource management.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the assistance instrument listed as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service anticipates substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as cultural resources, which aligns with the National Park Service mission of preserving and interpreting nationally significant historic landscapes and associated archeological materials.
The announcement specifies an estimated total funding amount of $65,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award was expected. Although the eligible applicant category is described broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the notice explicitly states that this posting is not a request for applications and that it is intended as a single-source award to The College of William and Mary. This indicates the recipient was predetermined and the public posting functioned primarily as a formal notice rather than an open competition. The posting date and creation date were both August 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 24, 2013, reflecting the administrative nature of the listing rather than a typical application window.
The opportunity falls under CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which commonly supports research partnerships that help parks better understand, manage, and protect their natural and cultural resources. For those seeking the full announcement details, an additional information link is provided through Grants.gov. The listed contact for access issues or administrative questions is Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
