Collections Management Training at the Carl Sandburg Home NHS | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Collections Management Training at the Carl Sandburg Home NHS" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00040) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to support a collaborative project between the University of West Georgia (UWG) and the NPS focused on professional development in museum studies, with a specific emphasis on collections management. The core objective is practical training: students or participants in UWG's Public History program will receive hands-on experience working directly with the collections division at the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site (NHS). In effect, the project is designed to build real-world skills in the care, organization, and management of museum and archival collections within a National Park Service setting, connecting academic preparation with day-to-day professional practice.

This opportunity is not an open competition and is not requesting applications from the broader public. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the University of West Georgia. The announcement explains that the NPS is providing public notice of its intention to fund the project without full and open competition under an existing cooperative agreement framework (referenced as Cooperative Agreement P13AC00443). UWG is identified as a partner under the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PSAC CESU), which is a mechanism the Department of the Interior and other federal partners commonly use to support research, technical assistance, and training collaborations with universities and other partners.

From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $225,000, with an award ceiling of $225,000 and an award floor of $0, indicating the planned award amount is up to the full stated ceiling and that smaller amounts are not ruled out in the abstract. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument is explicitly a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordinating training activities, providing access to NPS collections facilities, and aligning work with NPS museum and collections standards).

The opportunity is categorized under "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, titled "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System." The posting and creation dates are both February 2, 2015, and the archive date is February 16, 2015. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the closing date fields reiterate that it is not a request for applications and is specifically directed to UWG.

For administrative or access questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Alison Smith (National Park Service), reachable at 404-507-5754 or AlisonSmith@nps.gov. The announcement also references Grants.gov as the platform where the notice appears, with an additional information link provided in the source data.
