Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service is issuing a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Historic Resource Study for Proposed National Historic Landmark (NHL) Nomination Revision, Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park." The purpose of the effort is to produce a historic resource study that will support a proposed revision to a National Historic Landmark nomination connected to Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park. In practical terms, the work is meant to strengthen and update the historical documentation used to justify NHL-level significance, which typically involves synthesizing existing scholarship and primary sources, clarifying historical themes and periods of significance, and ensuring the record aligns with current NPS standards for landmark documentation.
This opportunity is being handled through the National Park Service Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network as a task agreement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), which generally indicates substantial federal involvement during the project, such as coordination on research approach, deliverables, or review of draft materials. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation indicating it relates to historic resources. The CFDA listing tied to the opportunity is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs: Resources of the National Park System, which is commonly used for research and technical assistance projects that support NPS resource stewardship and documentation.
The announcement makes clear this is not an open solicitation. It is not requesting applications from the general public or multiple institutions. Instead, it is a single-source, noncompetitive award to The College of William and Mary, and it is being processed under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a noncompetitive (sole source) approach is justified. Because of that structure, the listing functions mainly as public notice rather than an invitation to compete for funding.
The projected total funding amount is $55,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are both August 31, 2011. The original and current closing dates are September 2, 2011, and the archive date is October 2, 2011. The opportunity anticipates one award. The notice includes an award ceiling and floor of $0, which often appears in postings that are informational or administratively driven rather than competitive, where the total estimated funding figure provides the real scale of support.
