Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Developing NPS Museum Managment Guidance Educational Materials" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00186) is a National Park Service discretionary grant initiative focused on cultural resources, specifically aimed at strengthening how National Park Service (NPS) museum collections are managed, preserved, protected, and made accessible. The project is described as a continuation effort, meaning it builds on prior work rather than launching a brand-new program. Its central purpose is to support the sharing of knowledge, professional skills, and practical resources that help advance NPS mission requirements and improve consistency in museum policies and procedures across the park system. In practical terms, this kind of work typically supports the development or refinement of guidance and training or educational materials that help staff apply museum management standards in day-to-day operations.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project rather than a hands-off grant. The NPS signals that it intends to work closely with the recipient on project execution, deliverables, or technical direction. The eligible applicant category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the selected recipient type and the educational and training nature of the work.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not an open call for applications. Instead, it is a formal notice that the National Park Service intends to make a single-source award to George Washington University. The posting date and creation date are both August 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2013, reflecting that the listing functions more as a public notification of an intended sole-source action than a competitive solicitation window.
The award is expected to be a single grant (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $35,000. The award floor and ceiling are both set at $35,000, indicating the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal funding match as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System, which fits the emphasis on developing guidance and educational materials that support NPS collections stewardship.
