Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Historic Resource Study for Thomas Stone National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00409). The project centers on preparing an updated Historic Resource Study (HRS) for Thomas Stone National Historic Site, building on and supplementing an earlier HRS completed in 1988. An HRS is a foundational planning and research document used by the National Park Service to present a clear historical overview of a park or region and to identify and organize the park's cultural resources within appropriate historic contexts. In practical terms, it pulls together the best available scholarship and source material so park staff can make informed, consistent decisions about what matters most historically, what resources are present on the ground, and how those resources relate to broader themes, time periods, and patterns of significance.
The main purpose of this award is to produce an HRS that will directly support preservation, management, and interpretation at Thomas Stone National Historic Site. The updated study is intended to serve as essential reference material for decisions about protecting historic and cultural resources, planning future work, and shaping how the site is presented to the public. A key expected benefit is that the study will also supply the historical and contextual groundwork needed to update the site's National Register documentation. Specifically, the National Park Service notes that updated documentation should reflect all significant periods of use and occupation of the property, along with associations with significant people and events. That means the HRS is not just a narrative history; it is also meant to clarify periods of significance, identify and contextualize resources tied to those periods, and provide a defensible basis for revising formal historic designation records so they better capture the full historical story of the site.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.946 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, signaling that the National Park Service anticipated substantial involvement or collaboration during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The only eligible applicants identified are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the posting makes clear that this is not an open competition: the original closing information states a notice of intent to enter an agreement with the Organization of American Historians without additional competition, and that no applications will be accepted. In other words, while the opportunity is described in standard grant format, it functions as a directed award.
The anticipated funding level is up to an award ceiling of $74,903, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on July 28, 2016. Overall, the grant supports a targeted research and documentation effort to modernize the historical baseline for Thomas Stone National Historic Site, ensuring that stewardship decisions and National Register records are informed by an updated, comprehensive understanding of the site's cultural resources and historical significance.
