Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "Ethnographic Overview and Assessment Roger Williams National Memorial" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0148) on August 11, 2016. The purpose of this announcement is informational rather than competitive. It is specifically not a request for applications and should not be read as an open call for proposals. Instead, it serves as a formal notice that the NPS intends to make a single award under an already established master Cooperative Agreement, meaning the recipient relationship and overarching agreement framework already exist and the agency is announcing its intent to fund work through that mechanism.
The award instrument identified for this action is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," implying the work does not fit neatly into more common categories and is further explained in the original funding system fields. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service programs and supports the interpretation that this is a project aligned with NPS mission needs rather than a broad external funding competition.
The project focus, as indicated by the title, concerns an ethnographic overview and assessment for Roger Williams National Memorial. In NPS contexts, an ethnographic overview and assessment generally involves identifying and documenting communities and groups with traditional, historical, cultural, or contemporary associations with a park unit. This can include understanding how different communities value, use, or relate to park resources and landscapes, and compiling that information to inform interpretation, consultation, planning, and resource stewardship. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work, the title signals that the funded effort is intended to support NPS cultural resource management by improving understanding of the human dimensions connected to the memorial.
Administratively, the notice indicates an anticipated total funding amount up to an award ceiling of $88,831, with one expected award. Although the system lists an "Original Closing Date" of August 21, 2016, the text makes clear that this date does not function as a competitive application deadline because the announcement is not soliciting applications. Eligibility is shown as "Others," but, again, that field is largely moot in practice here because the NPS is not opening the opportunity to the wider public; it is announcing its intent to fund a recipient under a pre-existing cooperative agreement framework.
In practical terms, this posting is best understood as a transparency and compliance step: the NPS is communicating to the public that it plans to issue a single cooperative agreement award for an ethnographic assessment related to Roger Williams National Memorial, with a maximum amount specified, without running an open competition because the award will be made under an already established master cooperative agreement.
