Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Historic Preservation On Demand Course for Communities" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00294) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support the creation of an on-demand online training course that explains the basic process of historic preservation. The central goal is practical capacity-building: helping individuals and community groups who are new to preservation understand how preservation works so they can engage effectively at the grassroots level. The course is meant to be more than a one-off training product; it should be designed so it can be adopted, reused, and widely offered by national, state, and local preservation organizations, as well as by NPS parks, regions, and programs. In other words, the emphasis is on developing a scalable, user-friendly learning tool that can be deployed broadly across many preservation contexts.
This opportunity falls under the Humanities funding activity category (aligned with cultural affairs) and is associated with CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The work described focuses on providing technical expertise as needed to create, test, refine, and deploy the online course. That phrasing signals an iterative development process rather than simply producing static content: the selected partner would be expected to build the course, pilot it with real users, incorporate feedback, and improve the final product before broader release. Because the course is intended for beginners and community-based users, the underlying expectation is that it will translate preservation concepts into clear steps, demystify common procedures, and make participation easier for people without professional training.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $74,967, which is also the award ceiling. Only one award was expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds to receive the award. The eligible applicant pool is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, which suggests NPS was seeking a community-facing nonprofit partner with relevant expertise rather than a university-based program.
In terms of timing and availability, the announcement was posted on August 25, 2014, and archived on September 6, 2014. The closing date information indicates "Notification of Intent to Award. No applications will be accepted," which means this was not an open competition at the time of posting on Grants.gov. Instead, it appears to have been published to document an intent to make an award, rather than to solicit proposals from the public.
For additional details, the announcement references Grants.gov as the primary information source and provides a point of contact at NPS: John Bechtold (303-969-2492, JohnBechtold@nps.gov) for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
