Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Cooperative Agreement for the identification of sites and structures significant in Hispanic heritage" (Funding Opportunity Number: WASO NPS P12AC30752), was issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under the Cultural Resources Management program (CFDA 15.946). The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support work that identifies sites and structures that are significant to American Hispanic heritage and that may be appropriate for recognition and formal documentation by the National Park Service. In practical terms, the project focuses on researching, locating, evaluating, and helping document places tied to Hispanic history and cultural contributions in the United States so they can be better understood, preserved, and potentially considered within NPS interpretation or other federal heritage recognition processes.
The opportunity was categorized under the "Other" opportunity category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the NPS would typically expect to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, coordinating on research priorities, documentation standards, or deliverables). The funding activity category is listed as Education, which aligns with the public history and interpretive value of identifying and documenting historically significant places.
Financially, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and an award floor of $0. The NPS anticipated up to five awards in general terms, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Despite listing eligible applicants broadly as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the eligibility section makes clear this was not a competitive grant solicitation. The notice states it was an intent to award a cooperative agreement specifically to Cal Poly Foundation, Inc., and that it was not open for proposals because of the foundation's unique qualifications. In other words, this was essentially a directed award announcement rather than an open call for applications.
Key dates show it was posted and created on June 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2012, and an archive date of July 29, 2012. A short open period like this is typical of notices that serve mainly to publicize an intended, non-competitive award action rather than solicit applications from the public.
