Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service, through the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (CFDA 15.923), announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Landscape Maintenance and Preservation Training" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00330). The purpose of this cooperative agreement was to support the delivery of both in-person and online training focused on foundational cultural landscape concepts and practical preservation maintenance methods. In other words, the project was aimed at building skills and understanding around how historically significant landscapes are identified, cared for, and maintained using preservation-appropriate practices, with training content offered in classroom-style settings as well as via web-based instruction.
This opportunity was categorized under the education funding activity area and was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement or partnership with the federal agency during the project period rather than a more hands-off grant relationship. The announcement anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $49,373. The award ceiling was also listed as $49,373, with a nominal award floor of $1. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected recipient would not have been required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the National Park Service intended to work with a state-affiliated college or university to produce and deliver the training. The short program description emphasizes applied learning centered on cultural landscapes, which in the preservation context generally includes historic designed landscapes (such as parks, campuses, and estates), historic vernacular landscapes (such as rural agricultural areas), and other places where cultural and historical values are expressed through land use, spatial organization, vegetation, built features, and ongoing maintenance traditions. The training emphasis on "preservation maintenance practices" suggests a practical curriculum likely covering maintenance planning, appropriate treatments, routine care approaches that avoid damage to character-defining features, and methods aligned with preservation standards for historic properties.
Administratively, the announcement was posted and created on September 2, 2014, and later archived on September 13, 2014. The listed closing date was "Notification of intent to award. No applications will be accepted," which indicates the opportunity was not open for competitive applications and that the agency had already selected an intended recipient or was finalizing an award decision without soliciting proposals. The notice explicitly reiterates that no applications would be accepted. For reference or access issues, the contact person provided was John Bechtold at the National Park Service, reachable at 303-969-2492 or JohnBechtold@nps.gov, and an additional information link was included pointing to Grants.gov.
