Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Lake Meredith NRA and Alibates Flint Quarries NM Archaeological Overview Assessment" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ7544090026) to support professional archaeological field studies at Lake Meredith National Recreation Area and Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument. The core purpose of the award is to bring specialized expertise to conduct on-the-ground investigations that contribute to an archaeological overview and assessment for these two National Park Service units. In practical terms, the work is aimed at improving the parks' understanding of archaeological resources through field-based study, data gathering, and related research activities that inform management, planning, and protection of cultural resources.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement during the project compared to a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity category, reflecting its emphasis on research-oriented fieldwork and analysis rather than construction or routine operations. Only one award was expected under this announcement, and the total funding amount was set at $50,000, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $50,000. This indicates a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, meaning the applicant organization needed to be a private college or university (or a comparable private higher-education entity) capable of providing professional archaeological expertise and carrying out field studies. The CFDA listing was shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which generally signals that the funding did not map neatly onto a specific, commonly used CFDA program number at the time the notice was posted.
Key dates show this was a short-turnaround solicitation. The opportunity was created on October 20, 2009, posted on October 23, 2009, and had an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009. The archive date was November 27, 2009, indicating it was no longer active after that point. Given the narrow submission window, prospective applicants would have needed to move quickly to prepare an application that demonstrated relevant qualifications, field capabilities, and a project approach aligned with producing an archaeological overview and assessment for Lake Meredith NRA and Alibates Flint Quarries NM.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
