Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Catalog and Describe Park Archives in the Southeast Region of the National Park Service" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00634). The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity is classified under "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" and is associated with CFDA number 15.945.
The purpose of the award is straightforward and practical: to partner with the University of West Georgia to provide an archival team that will help process archival collections held at national park units in the Southeast Region. In typical archival terms, "process" commonly includes arranging and organizing materials, creating or improving inventories and finding aids, and producing standardized catalog records and descriptive information so collections can be located, understood, and managed effectively. The emphasis in the title on cataloging and description signals that the deliverables are likely to focus on improved intellectual control over the materials, not just physical rehousing, with the end goal of making park archives more usable for park staff, researchers, and the public while supporting long-term preservation and stewardship.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, not a competitive solicitation. In other words, it is not requesting applications from other institutions. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to fund this specific project without full and open competition, with the University of West Georgia identified as the intended partner. The eligible applicant type listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," aligning with the university partner named in the description.
The anticipated award amount has a ceiling of $74,632, and the NPS expects to make one award. The opportunity was created on September 12, 2016. Since it is a notice of intent rather than an open call, the "original closing date" field effectively states that there is no application deadline because applications are not being accepted through this notice. Overall, the opportunity describes a targeted, single-award cooperative effort to strengthen archival management capacity across Southeast Region parks by bringing in a university-based archival team to accelerate cataloging and descriptive work on park archival holdings.
