Opportunity Summary:
The National Capital Region Cultural Resource Program, Support CR GIS Spatial Data Development (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00376) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement notice focused on improving the quality and usability of cultural resource spatial data in the National Capital Region. The core project work is to collaborate with NPS staff to review and update 61 legacy Cultural Landscape Inventories (CLIs). These inventories were created under older practices and formats, so the intent of the effort is to identify and resolve information gaps and bring the associated GIS and related data products into alignment with current NPS requirements, specifically the NPS Cultural Resource Spatial Data Transfer Standards. In practical terms, this is about making sure the cultural landscape information the NPS relies on is complete, consistent, and transferable in standardized GIS-ready form so it can be used reliably for planning, stewardship, and decision-making.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project. The funding activity is listed under “Cultural Resources,” and the relevant CFDA program number is 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the work is intended to be carried out in partnership with an academic institution that can provide technical GIS expertise, data management capability, and cultural resource subject-matter support.
An important detail is that this notice is not a request for applications. The announcement explicitly states it is being posted to provide public notice of NPS’s intention to fund the project activities without full and open competition. The posted and closing dates (September 16, 2014 to September 17, 2014) reflect that it is essentially an informational posting rather than an open solicitation. The listing also shows an estimated total funding amount of $0 and award floor/ceiling of $0, which commonly appears in announcements that are primarily for notice purposes rather than for competing applicants to propose budgets.
The bottom line is that this grant notice describes a targeted, collaborative data-development and standards-compliance effort: reviewing 61 existing cultural landscape inventory records, correcting deficiencies, and ensuring the spatial data meets NPS transfer standards so it can be integrated and shared effectively across NPS systems. For anyone seeking more information from the agency, the contact provided is Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, at 301-663-1481 or ritamihalik@nps.gov, and an additional information link is listed through Grants.gov.
