Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Geophysical Survey Archeological Site Assessment at Ft. Necessity NB" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00010) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement notice focused on cultural resources work at Fort Necessity National Battlefield, specifically in and around the Great Meadow Area. The core purpose of the project is to conduct geophysical surveying and related archeological research to better understand subsurface features and archeological resources associated with the site. In practical terms, this type of work typically involves non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques that can help locate, map, and interpret buried cultural remains without immediately resorting to extensive excavation, supporting more informed preservation and management decisions within the park.
This posting is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. That matters because cooperative agreements generally imply that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project work, such as coordinating research priorities, providing access to park lands and records, aligning methodologies with NPS cultural resource standards, and integrating findings into park planning and interpretation. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as Cultural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient would not be expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the intended partner is a public university or similar state-affiliated academic entity with the technical expertise to conduct geophysical survey and archeological assessment work. The notice states an expectation of a single award. The posting and creation date are December 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 5, 2014, and an archive date of January 2, 2015. Importantly, the announcement explicitly says it is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public notice of the NPS intention to fund the project without full and open competition. In other words, the NPS was signaling an intent to make an award to a specific, eligible partner under a justified noncompetitive approach rather than inviting proposals from a broad pool of applicants.
The financial fields in the listing (estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor) are all shown as 0, which typically indicates that the exact funding amount was not provided in the public notice or was handled through internal documentation associated with the planned agreement. Anyone needing the full announcement details was directed to Grants.gov via the provided link, and the listed point of contact for access issues is Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, with phone number 301-663-1481 x5 and email ritamihalik@nps.gov.
