Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service published a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Evaluate Fort Sumter Bricks and Mortars" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ5430090029) to obtain professional, research-based expertise for field studies focused on the condition and characteristics of historic bricks and mortars at Fort Sumter. The core purpose is to support science and technology style research and development work that can inform preservation decisions for this nationally significant historic structure. The work is framed through a CESU arrangement (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units), which typically emphasizes collaboration between federal land-management agencies and academic partners to deliver applied research and technical assistance.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with substantial involvement from the National Park Service rather than as a more hands-off grant. The agency expected to make a single award, with total estimated funding of $38,995. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $38,995, which signals a fixed anticipated project budget rather than a broad funding range. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the selected recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, indicating the National Park Service was seeking an academic partner with relevant professional capabilities, such as materials conservation, architectural conservation, civil/materials engineering, archaeology, or related historic preservation sciences. The funding activity category was listed as "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," reinforcing that the expected deliverable is technical evaluation grounded in field investigation, documentation, and analysis of masonry materials rather than general interpretive or educational programming.
Key dates show this was a short-turnaround, time-limited solicitation. It was posted on October 23, 2009, created on October 20, 2009, and closed on October 28, 2009 (original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was archived on November 27, 2009. The listing includes a CFDA number of 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used in older postings or special-purpose listings where a standard CFDA program number is not specified.
