Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice for a discretionary funding action titled "Document, Evaluate, and Prescribe Treatment, Cultural Landscape of Harriet Tubman National Historical Park" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0128; CFDA: 15.945). The notice makes clear that this is not a request for applications and is not being competed. Instead, it serves to inform the public of NPS intent to provide funding through a cooperative agreement to support specific project activities at Harriet Tubman National Historical Park.
The purpose of the project is to advance the NPS mission of preserving park resources "unimpaired for the enjoyment of present and future generations" by focusing on the park's cultural landscape. In practice, the work centers on developing the research foundation needed to properly document and assess historic landscape resources in the park. That includes gathering and organizing information that can define what landscape features are historically significant, how they have changed over time, and what conditions they are currently in, so that the park can make informed decisions about stewardship.
A major deliverable implied by the project title and description is a treatment-oriented set of recommendations for long-term preservation and enhancement of the cultural landscape. In other words, the effort is not only about recording what exists, but also about evaluating significance and integrity and then prescribing appropriate management or preservation actions. These recommendations are intended to guide future decisions about protecting landscape character, prioritizing preservation needs, and planning for any rehabilitation or enhancement work in a way that aligns with the site's historical and cultural meanings.
Beyond resource management, the project also supports interpretation and public understanding. By improving the documentation and evaluation of both natural and cultural aspects of the park, the project is intended to help promote, facilitate, and improve how people understand the setting and stories connected to Harriet Tubman National Historical Park. Stronger research and clearer preservation guidance can feed directly into better education, interpretation, and visitor experience because staff and partners have more accurate information about what matters in the landscape and why.
The announcement lists an anticipated single award with an award ceiling of $85,000 and an expected award count of one. It was created on August 2, 2016, with an original closing date of August 12, 2016, but that date functions more as an administrative marker for the public notice rather than an invitation for applicants, since the funding is intended to be issued without competition. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the original system, reflecting that the recipient is pre-identified or otherwise selected under applicable noncompetitive authorities for this cooperative agreement.
