Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), covers a specific preservation-planning project focused on Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) era resources at Kings Mountain National Military Park (NMP) and the adjoining Kings Mountain State Park. The central purpose is to fund Clemson Universitys Historic Preservation Program to carry out a survey of CCC-era structures and site features in these parks and then produce a Historic Structure Report (HSR). The HSR is intended to guide long-term stewardship by documenting the resources thoroughly and laying out preservation approaches that protect both the historic significance and architectural integrity of the CCC-era work.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, and it falls under the activity category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs supporting resources of the National Park System. The announcement is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a single-source award to Clemson University under an existing cooperative agreement relationship (referenced as Cooperative Agreement P13AC00443) through the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit. In practical terms, that means NPS had already identified Clemson as the partner best positioned to do the work and published this posting mainly to provide transparency to the public about the planned award.
Funding is set for one expected award, with an estimated total amount of $81,719, which is also the stated award ceiling; the award floor is listed as $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The posting date and creation date are September 3, 2015, and the archive date is September 14, 2015. Both the original and current closing date fields reiterate that this is a single-source notice of intent and not an application-based opportunity, so there is no application deadline in the usual sense.
Eligibility is framed around public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and other entities as described in the announcement, but the key point is that NPS is specifically announcing its intention to fund Clemson University for this project without full and open competition. For anyone needing more information or experiencing difficulty accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Alison Smith, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 404-507-5754 or by email at AlisonSmith@nps.gov. The posting also includes an additional information link directing readers to the corresponding grants.gov entry.
