Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice announcing its intent to fund a specific project titled "Document and Evaluate the Cultural Landscape of Wilderness Battlefield, Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park." The notice makes clear that this is not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it functions as a formal announcement to inform the public that NPS plans to support these project activities through a non-competitive award.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action and will be administered through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is labeled as "Other," with the implication that the work does not fit neatly into standard research, construction, or education categories and is instead centered on specialized cultural resource documentation and evaluation.
The project focus is the Wilderness Battlefield cultural landscape within Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. In practical terms, the title signals work oriented around identifying, documenting, and evaluating cultural landscape characteristics and conditions associated with the battlefield. Cultural landscape documentation and evaluation commonly involves compiling historical and existing-condition information, mapping landscape features, describing contributing and non-contributing elements, assessing integrity and significance, and producing professional findings that can guide future preservation, interpretation, and management decisions for nationally significant historic places.
The announcement is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0124 and references CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to NPS assistance and related support programs. The eligibility field is broadly listed as "Others," but because the notice is explicitly non-competitive and not soliciting applications, the eligibility designation is mainly informational and does not operate like an open call where multiple entities submit proposals.
In terms of funding scale and anticipated award activity, NPS indicates an award ceiling of $60,000 and expects to make one award. The posting dates show the opportunity was created on July 28, 2016, with an original closing date of August 6, 2016. Even though a closing date is provided in the listing, the repeated statement that this is not a request for applications underscores that the timeline is tied to public notice and internal award processing rather than an applicant submission window.
Overall, this announcement is best understood as a transparency measure: NPS is signaling ahead of time that it plans to issue a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement, up to $60,000, to support professional work documenting and evaluating the cultural landscape of the Wilderness Battlefield at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.
