Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) posted a notice titled "Collaborate to Inspire New Learning about the Wabanaki Tribes of Maine: Conduct Community History and Archeology Projects" under funding opportunity number NPS 16 NERO 0077. The notice was posted and created on June 9, 2016, and it lists a closing date of June 19, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates match). The opportunity is categorized as a continuation action and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning it is structured around ongoing collaboration rather than a one-time standalone grant.
The key point of this announcement is that it is not an open solicitation. It explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that the task agreement has already been awarded to a recipient through an existing cooperative agreement. In other words, the National Park Service is publicly documenting that a specific project award has been made, rather than inviting new applicants to compete for the funding. This kind of posting is typically used for transparency and public recordkeeping when funds are issued under an existing agreement framework.
The project focus, as reflected in the title, centers on collaborative efforts to support new learning related to the Wabanaki Tribes of Maine through community history and archeology activities. While the notice does not provide additional project details beyond the title and administrative fields, it signals that the funded work is intended to involve public-facing or community-engaged historical and archeological projects connected to Wabanaki history and heritage in Maine, likely emphasizing partnership, interpretation, and education components consistent with National Park Service collaboration-oriented agreements.
Administratively, the listing references CFDA number 15.954 and indicates an award ceiling of $145,000 with one expected award. The eligible applicant category shown is "Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," but because the announcement is not open for applications and the award has already been made under an existing cooperative agreement, that eligibility information functions more as a descriptor of the recipient type or the general program framework rather than an invitation for new submissions.
