Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Ethnographic Overview and Assessment Antietam National Battlefield" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00244) is a National Park Service (NPS) cultural resources project intended to support an ethnographic overview and assessment focused on Antietam National Battlefield. The core purpose of the work is to identify and document contemporary associations that ethnographic groups have with the battlefield. In practical terms, this kind of effort typically involves researching and describing which living communities, cultural groups, or traditionally associated peoples maintain meaningful connections to the site today, and how those connections are expressed (for example through memory, identity, commemorative practices, traditions, community narratives, or other cultural ties).
This opportunity falls under the discretionary category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement usually means that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, such as collaboration on project design, review of methods, coordination on access to park resources, and oversight of deliverables. The activity is categorized under "Other" with the provided explanation "Cultural Resources," indicating the work is aligned with cultural and heritage stewardship within the National Park System rather than construction, land acquisition, or conventional scientific research alone.
The announcement indicates an expected single award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds or in-kind match to receive the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which in many older listings is used as a placeholder and does not necessarily mean the project has no funding; the estimated total funding figure is the meaningful number here.
Although the listing includes "Eligible Applicants: Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," it also clearly states that this is not a request for applications and that it is a single-source award to Christopher Newport University. In other words, the notice functions more as a public record of the intended award than as an open competition. The posted date and creation date are September 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 5, 2013, reflecting the administrative timing of the single-source action rather than an application window for general applicants.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is consistent with projects where universities partner with the NPS to conduct research, documentation, and training-related work that supports park management and interpretation. The announcement provides an additional information link through Grants.gov and lists the NPS contact as Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, including phone number (301-432-7890) and email (ritamihalik@nps.gov), for assistance accessing the full announcement.
Overall, this grant supports a targeted cultural resources study meant to improve the National Park Service's understanding of present-day cultural relationships to Antietam National Battlefield, strengthening the park's ability to recognize, consult with, and responsibly interpret the perspectives and values of communities connected to the site.
