Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "Asian American and Pacific Islander Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00008) was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on humanities and cultural affairs, specifically cultural resources management under CFDA 15.946. The central purpose of the award is to support work that shares knowledge, skills, and resources in ways that advance the goals of the National Historic Preservation Act. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on developing or supporting a travel itinerary product connected to the "Discover Our Shared Heritage" theme, highlighting historic places and stories associated with Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage and encouraging public understanding of their significance within the broader American historical landscape.

This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service anticipated being substantially involved in the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. That involvement can include collaboration on scope, technical input, review of deliverables, and coordination to ensure the final itinerary aligns with federal preservation and interpretation standards. The program category is rooted in humanities-oriented preservation and interpretation rather than construction or capital development, suggesting the intended outcomes were likely research, documentation, narrative development, curation of site information, and publication or dissemination of the itinerary content.

The total estimated funding available for the project was $22,500, with an award ceiling of $22,500 and an award floor listed as $1. Only one award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning an applicant would not have been required to contribute non-federal funds to receive the award. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations holding IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. This indicates the National Park Service was targeting mission-driven nonprofit partners with experience in heritage, history, community engagement, preservation, or public interpretation.

The notice was posted on December 2, 2013, and archived on December 10, 2013. Importantly, the listing states "Notice of intent to award. No applications will be accepted," both for the original and current closing date fields. That language signals that the agency had already identified an intended recipient or had otherwise decided to proceed without an open, competitive application process through Grants.gov. As a result, while the announcement provides transparency about the planned award, it was not an open call for proposals at the time it appeared.

For reference or administrative questions, the announcement provided a Grants.gov link and listed a point of contact at the National Park Service: John Bechtold (303-969-2492, JohnBechtold@nps.gov). The listing also notes that anyone who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically could reach out directly, although the final line reiterates that no applications would be accepted under this posting.
