Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Archiving the Creole Language" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI CARI H5720100002) is a discretionary grant announcement issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning it is not an open call for applications. Instead of inviting competitive proposals, the notice serves to publicly document the agency's intention to fund a specific set of project activities with a specific partner organization, without competition. The opportunity falls under the Education funding activity category and anticipates a single award.
The project centers on preserving and improving access to existing Creole-language cultural and linguistic materials held by the Creole Heritage Foundation and the Creole Heritage Center at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. The Creole Heritage Center was established to support research and documentation related to Creole history and lived experience, including genealogy, culture, anthropology, ethnography, folk life, and broader Creole studies. A major part of its mission is not only conducting and supporting this work, but also sharing results with Creole communities and the general public through publications, conferences, and online dissemination.
The specific activities described in the notice focus on digitizing recorded audio and video materials, including taped Creole community meetings and oral-history interviews with fluent Creole speakers. The work also involves collaboration with language experts, archival specialists, and cultural consultants to ensure the digitization and documentation follow international standards and widely recognized best practices for linguistic documentation. In practical terms, this implies careful handling of legacy recordings, creation of high-quality digital preservation files, and the use of appropriate metadata and archiving methods so the materials remain usable and meaningful over time.
Once digitized, the materials will be archived and housed in a secure repository at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. The intent is to make the collection accessible not only locally, but also to indigenous people, researchers, and interested members of the public worldwide. This emphasis on access suggests the project is meant to support both cultural continuity for the communities represented and scholarly or educational use for those studying the Creole language and related cultural traditions.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $70,200, with an award ceiling of $70,200 and an award floor of $1, and it indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The expected number of awards is one. The eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the involvement of Northwestern State University of Louisiana and the Creole Heritage Center.
Key dates in the listing include a posted date of August 12, 2010, and a closing date of August 18, 2010, with an archive date of September 17, 2010. Because this is an NOI rather than a solicitation, these dates function more as public-notice milestones than as a typical application window for broad submission.
For administrative questions or for help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 504-589-3882 or by email at rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
