Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "HISTORIC RESOURCE STUDY FOR WILLIAM FLOYD ESTATE" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00324) was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on humanities and cultural resources management (CFDA 15.946). The core purpose of the award was to fund the preparation of a Historic Resource Study (HRS) for the William Floyd Estate, following the National Park Service Cultural Resource Management Guidelines (NPS-28). An HRS is essentially a foundational research and synthesis document that lays out a well-supported historical overview of a park unit or region and places its cultural resources into clear historic contexts so the site can be managed, preserved, and interpreted with stronger historical grounding.
The work envisioned under this opportunity centered on producing a comprehensive HRS that identifies and explains the William Floyd Estate's cultural and historic resources, connects those resources to relevant themes and time periods, and organizes them into coherent contexts that the park can use for decision-making. The study was intended to become a practical management tool, providing the background needed for preservation planning, resource stewardship, and interpretive programming. In other words, it was not just an academic history; it was meant to directly support on-the-ground choices about what matters at the site, why it matters, and how it should be cared for and presented to the public.
A major additional outcome tied to the project was improving and updating the property's National Register documentation. The NPS explicitly noted that the study would supply the context necessary to revise National Register materials so they reflect all significant periods of use and occupation at the estate, along with associations with significant people and events. That emphasis suggests the existing documentation may have been incomplete, dated, or too narrowly focused on particular eras or themes, and that the HRS would help broaden or clarify the property's recognized significance by grounding it in a fuller, better-documented historical narrative.
In terms of funding and administrative details, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $74,797, which also served as the award ceiling (the award floor was listed as $1). No cost sharing or matching requirement was attached, meaning applicants would not have been required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, which indicates the NPS was seeking a specific type of partner organization to carry out the work under a cooperative agreement structure.
Finally, it is important to note that this posting functioned more as a notice related to an intent to award rather than an open competition. The listing stated "Notification of intent to award. No applications will be accepted," and the same language appeared for the closing date. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2015, archived on August 30, 2015, and included a point of contact for assistance accessing the full announcement: John Bechtold (303-969-2492, JohnBechtold@nps.gov).
