Opportunity Summary:

The Fort Stanwix Centennial Exhibition notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0149) is a National Park Service announcement of a cooperative agreement award, not an open call for applications. The government is formally posting that a single organization, the Rome Historical Society (RHS), has already been selected to carry out work connected to a temporary exhibition focused on the history of Fort Stanwix. Because the recipient is pre-selected, the posting and closing dates (posted September 1, 2015; closing September 10, 2015; archived September 11, 2015) function more as an administrative public notice than a competitive grant opportunity.

The award is associated with CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, and it is categorized under a discretionary funding instrument type called a Cooperative Agreement. The total funding amount is estimated at $25,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $25,000, indicating a single fixed-size award (Expected Awards: 1). No cost sharing or matching is required. While the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the accompanying eligibility statement makes clear that this particular action is not seeking applicants and is simply documenting the already-chosen partner.

Under the agreement, RHS responsibilities center on providing content, space, expertise, coordination, and stewardship to make the exhibition successful. RHS will provide rights to use selected historical materials such as images, maps, artwork, and museum objects tied to Fort Stanwix, and will also provide museum space at the RHS museum to host the temporary exhibition, with an expected display period lasting at least through December 31, 2017. RHS staff will contribute professional expertise to work collaboratively on planning and development, monitor the exhibition setup, and review exhibit content. They will also coordinate with other organizations as needed to deliver related programs and activities, and they will work closely with the National Park Service to ensure compliance with park policies governing the proper care and display of museum objects.

Administrative and accountability requirements are also spelled out. RHS will manage and administer the federal funds according to the terms of the cooperative agreement to support exhibition-related programs and activities. Both parties will collaborate on promotion, including traditional and social media, and RHS will explicitly recognize the National Park Service role in the project. The notice emphasizes object security and collections management practices: RHS must promptly report theft, damage, any loan activity, or changes in condition while items are in another party's care, and must provide complete itemized lists of all materials being loaned so that inventories can be tracked and returned in full.
