Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Develop the Archival Repository for the Sand Creek Massacre Research and Learning Center" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP11AT00A31). The purpose of the opportunity is to support work that will develop an archival repository connected to the Sand Creek Massacre Research and Learning Center, which implies organizing, preserving, and making accessible historical materials relevant to the Sand Creek Massacre for research and educational use. The funding activity category is listed as Education, signaling that the end goal is not only preservation but also supporting learning, interpretation, and public understanding through improved archival infrastructure and resources.
This notice is structured as a noncompetitive award under a National Park Service master cooperative agreement. In practical terms, that means it is not an open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals for review and selection. Instead, it is a "notice of intent" to make a specific task agreement award under an existing cooperative framework, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. Cooperative agreements generally indicate that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as active coordination, collaboration on project direction, or shared responsibilities during execution, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which means the recipient would not be expected to provide a specified financial match to receive the federal funds. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically reflects that the public-facing synopsis does not define strict minimums or maximums beyond the stated estimated total, or that those details are governed by the attached announcement and the specific task agreement terms.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting date and creation date were both April 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2011, indicating a very short window typical of notices that are procedural steps toward a planned noncompetitive award rather than a broad solicitation. The archive date is May 15, 2011, meaning the listing was subsequently closed and archived.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the NPS provided a contact: William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891. The synopsis also notes that additional details were contained in an attached announcement, which would normally include the specific scope of work for developing the archival repository, expected deliverables, timelines, and the cooperative agreement roles and responsibilities.
