Opportunity Summary:
The Cataloging Archeological Backlog opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI P11AT00568) was a National Park Service discretionary funding announcement designed to support a cooperative, partner-driven effort to improve the management and understanding of museum and archeological collections associated with national parks. The core goal of the task agreement was to have the National Park Service (NPS) and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy work together on continued research, interpretation, and long-term care of park museum collections, while also running joint programs that involve youth and the broader public in hands-on cultural resource stewardship. In practical terms, the grant was aimed at reducing a cataloging backlog for archeological materials, strengthening documentation and collections care, and translating that work into public-facing education and engagement.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, which signals that NPS anticipated substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. It was intended to result in one award with an estimated total funding amount of $25,907, which also served as the award ceiling, with a nominal award floor listed as $1. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, meaning the recipient would not be obligated to contribute a specific non-federal cash or in-kind share as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was not broadly competitive. Although the listing notes an eligible applicant category of nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the eligibility section makes clear this action was a single-source award specifically to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. That indicates the agency had already identified its intended partner based on an established relationship and relevant mission alignment, rather than seeking proposals from the wider nonprofit community.
Key dates show this was a short-window notice. The opportunity was posted and created on April 21, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2011, and it was archived on May 25, 2011. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Carol Axley, a contract specialist with the National Park Service, by phone at 415-561-4754 or by email at carolaxley@nps.gov.
