Opportunity Summary:
The "List of Classified Structures Update" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00323) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice describing continued work to update and expand the inventory of existing structures on NPS lands in the National Capital Region. The core purpose of the project is cultural resource stewardship: documenting, evaluating, and tracking the condition and integrity of park structures using National Register of Historic Places criteria, so the NPS can better manage historic and potentially eligible resources over time. The work focuses on NPS properties administered within the National Capital Region, specifically Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, National Mall and Memorial Parks, Ford's Theatre National Historic Site, President's Park, and Rock Creek Park.
This notice is not an open call for proposals and is explicitly "not a request for applications." Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS intended to continue funding these project activities without full and open competition, with the University of Maryland, College Park identified as the partner. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expected substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity is categorized under "Cultural Resources" and is associated with CFDA 15.945, covering cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of August 19, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2015, and an archive date of September 19, 2015. Although the notice lists eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the noncompetitive nature of the action means this eligibility category is more descriptive of the intended partner type than an invitation for new submissions. The notice also lists estimated total funding and award ceiling/floor as $0, which in these kinds of public-notice postings often reflects that the entry is primarily informational rather than a typical competed funding announcement with a defined amount.
For additional details, the notice references Grants.gov as the source and provides a point of contact at NPS: Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer (301-663-1481 ext. 5, RitaMihalik@nps.gov).
