Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Ethnographic Technical Assistance and Research Support for Nicodemus National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ6068090024). The purpose of the award was to secure professional, research-based expertise to carry out field studies and provide ethnographic technical assistance in support of Nicodemus National Historic Site. In practical terms, this type of work typically involves documenting community history and cultural traditions through ethnographic methods such as interviews, participant observation, archival review, and related field research, then translating those findings into usable products that inform park interpretation, preservation planning, and long-term resource stewardship.
The funding instrument for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, meaning the project was expected to be conducted in active collaboration with the National Park Service rather than as a hands-off grant. The activity category was listed as "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," reflecting the research-driven nature of the ethnographic fieldwork and technical assistance. Only one award was anticipated, and the funding amount was fixed: the estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor were all listed as $4,841,652. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, indicating that the National Park Service was seeking a university or comparable academic institution capable of providing qualified researchers, appropriate oversight, and the infrastructure needed for a significant field-based research and technical assistance effort. The opportunity was posted on October 23, 2009, created on October 20, 2009, and had an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009. The archive date was November 27, 2009, indicating the announcement was time-limited and later removed from active listings.
For administrative and access questions, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
