Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "List of Classified Structures Update for C and O Canal NHP and Antietam NB" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00251) is a National Park Service cultural resources project focused on updating the inventory of built assets at two major National Park Service units: the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park (C and O Canal NHP) and Antietam National Battlefield (Antietam NB). The core purpose is to review and document existing structures so the parks have current, defensible information on each structure's physical condition and its historic integrity, using National Register of Historic Places criteria as the standard for evaluation. In practical terms, this means field and records-based work that results in updated structure records that help the NPS understand what it has, what shape it is in, what remains historically intact, and what needs attention for preservation and management.
The scope is substantial, covering approximately 725 structures across the two parks. The work centers on the NPS "List of Classified Structures" framework, which is the agency's primary inventory system for significant constructed features and buildings. Updating these records typically involves verifying location and identification data, confirming the structure type and characteristics, assessing current condition (often using standardized condition categories), and evaluating integrity in the National Register sense (commonly considering aspects such as location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association). The stated emphasis on integrity based on National Register criteria signals that the deliverables are meant to support preservation planning, compliance, and long-term resource stewardship, rather than being a simple asset count.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is listed as "Other" with a specific clarification of "Cultural Resources," which aligns with the inventory, evaluation, and documentation nature of the work. Only one award was expected, and the total estimated funding amount was $41,187. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide additional non-federal matching funds to carry out the project as proposed.
A key detail is that this posting was explicitly not an open competition or a request for applications. The announcement states it is a single-source award to the University of Maryland, and the eligible applicant category is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," consistent with selecting a specific academic partner for this effort. The posting date and creation date were both September 10, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 11, 2013, reflecting the administrative nature of the listing rather than a typical multi-week application window. The archive date was September 9, 2014. The CFDA numbers associated with the award are 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, reinforcing that the project sits within NPS research, documentation, and resource management support activities.
For additional reference, the announcement points to Grants.gov as the source for the full posting. The listed contact for access issues or questions is Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, National Park Service, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 and by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
