Opportunity Summary:
The Boston African American National Historic Site Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0027) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement. It is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, the notice serves as a public announcement that the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), plans to enter into Cooperative Agreement P12AC11235 with a specific partner, The Museum of African American History, Inc., to carry out project activities connected to the Boston African American National Historic Site program. The announcement points readers to an attachment in the full posting for the detailed scope of work and agreement terms.
The award is categorized as continuation funding and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by NPS in carrying out the project compared with a standard grant. The activity category is listed as Education, and the CFDA number associated with the funding is 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management), signaling that the work aligns with NPS cultural resource and historic preservation-related priorities, likely tied to interpretation, public education, and stewardship of historically significant African American sites in Boston.
Financially, the total estimated funding is $26,500, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $26,500, meaning the NPS anticipated one award at a fixed amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity lists eligibility as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because the posting is a notice of intent to award to a named organization without full and open competition, it is not functioning as an open competition for other eligible entities.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on April 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 2, 2012, and an archive date of May 3, 2012. These dates reflect the public notice window rather than an application period, since no applications were being solicited.
For access issues related to the full announcement attachment, the contact listed is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056, associated with the BOAF NHS Program.
