Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a public Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Archeological Condition Assessments and Site Stabilization." This notice is strictly informational and is not a request for applications or proposals. In other words, the NPS is not opening a competition for this funding; it is announcing its intention to fund specific work through an existing cooperative framework without full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a standard grant and stepping back. The work will be carried out under Task Agreement P15AC01700, which sits under a broader Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00637) with the University of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii is identified as a partner within the Hawaii Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, a collaborative network often used by federal agencies to connect with university and research partners for place-based studies, training, and applied conservation or cultural resource work.
The focus of the funded effort is cultural resources, specifically activities related to archeological sites. The title indicates two main components: condition assessments (systematic evaluations of the current state of archeological resources, such as documenting deterioration, threats, and preservation needs) and site stabilization (actions intended to prevent further damage or loss, which can include measures to reduce erosion, address structural instability, mitigate visitor impacts, or otherwise preserve site integrity). The opportunity is categorized under Humanities, with an explicit emphasis on Cultural Resources, aligning with NPS responsibilities for stewardship of significant archeological and historic resources within the National Park System.
The total estimated funding amount is $60,000, and the posting lists both the award ceiling and award floor as $60,000, indicating a single award at a fixed amount. The NPS expects to make one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which is consistent with the identified intended recipient and the cooperative ecosystem studies unit partnership model. The funding opportunity number is P15AS00370, and it was posted on September 1, 2015, with an archive date of September 11, 2015. Because this is not an application-based opportunity, the "closing date" fields are effectively replaced with the statement "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS."
