Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Catalog and Describe Carl Sandburgs Archives Phase II" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00043) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice describing a planned, single-source cooperative agreement award to the University of West Georgia. It falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs focused on resources of the National Park System. The notice was posted and created on February 4, 2015, with an archive date of February 18, 2015.
The purpose of the project is to complete Phase II of a multi-step effort to process and properly describe the archival materials of Carl Sandburg and Lilian Sandburg. This work is explicitly described as a follow-on to an earlier task agreement (#P14AC01524). The main objective is to bring the Sandburg archival holdings into compliance with recognized archival standards, which typically means organizing, stabilizing, cataloging, and describing collections in a consistent way so that they can be discovered, managed, and used more effectively. By doing so, the project aims to "unlock" the informational value of these materials for public access and for NPS resource stewardship, research, interpretation, and education.
This opportunity is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice of NPS intent to fund the project without full and open competition, using an existing cooperative framework (referenced as Cooperative Agreement P13AC00443) with the University of West Georgia. The University is identified as a partner under the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PSAC), which is the collaboration structure NPS is using to carry out the work.
Financially, the announcement anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000. The award ceiling is also listed as $90,000, with an award floor of $0, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is effectively limited by the single-source intent, though the eligibility fields indicate the relevant applicant category includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and "others" as clarified in the full eligibility text.
