Opportunity Summary:
The National Historic Preservation funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI WASO 2210100307) is a National Park Service (NPS) public notice announcing its intent to make a single, non-competitive award through a cooperative agreement. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals from the general public through this announcement. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice that NPS plans to fund specific project activities aligned with national historic preservation priorities.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to help carry out congressional directives in Section 403(b) and (c) of the National Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470). The work centers on advancing preservation and conservation skills and technologies that support the identification, evaluation, conservation, and interpretation of prehistoric and historic resources. A major emphasis is building professional capacity through training and education for federal, state, and local preservation professionals, cultural resource managers, maintenance personnel, and others involved in preservation work. The agreement also aims to move preservation research into practice by applying technological benefits developed by other agencies and institutions, and by facilitating the transfer of preservation technology across federal agencies, state and local governments, universities, international organizations, and the private sector. Another stated element is collaboration with international preservation-related organizations, including groups such as the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), and the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Overall, the mandate is to deliver these goals through research, professional training, technical assistance, public awareness programs, and a grants program.
The announcement outlines joint objectives that are typical of cooperative agreements, where both parties actively participate rather than the recipient working independently. NPS and the partner (referenced in the text as NSU in connection with the NCPTT) are expected to commit funds, staff time, office resources, and professional expertise to shared projects. The types of activities contemplated are broad and practical, including applied research, report preparation, course and curriculum development, in-person and distance learning training, symposia and conferences, publications, and professional meetings. The structure is geared toward producing usable tools, training opportunities, and knowledge products that can be adopted by preservation practitioners.
The recipient responsibilities described include providing space and facilities as needed for public meetings, lectures, trainings, and related events, and supporting the development and dissemination of both general and technical publications tied to the center programs and joint undertakings. The recipient is also expected to provide staff affiliated with the NCPTT access to institutional benefits and services comparable to those available to university faculty and staff, such as laboratory space, library access, parking, security, recreation facilities, and similar support services. These provisions signal that the arrangement relies on shared infrastructure and an ongoing operational partnership, not just a one-time project deliverable.
On the NPS side, the agency commits to collaborating with the recipient to develop and carry out projects and initiatives under the agreement, including direct participation in research, training, outreach, publication development, and event delivery. The notice also includes an intellectual property provision: if a joint project is expected to produce intellectual property, that work must be handled through a modification to the agreement that clearly spells out the statement of work and how intellectual property rights and ownership will be allocated. NPS may also contribute instructional support for courses, as mutually agreed upon by the parties, reinforcing the hands-on nature of the partnership.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding instrument listed as a cooperative agreement and the activity category described as historic preservation. The announcement anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,800,000. The listed award floor is $1 and the ceiling is $2,500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Although the eligibility field is marked as “unrestricted,†the core message of the notice is that NPS intends to fund the described activities without competition, so the practical takeaway is that this posting is informational rather than an open grant competition. The notice was posted on September 15, 2010, with a closing date of September 16, 2010, and an archive date of October 16, 2010. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact listed is Heidi Sage, Contract Specialist (Contractor), at 303-969-2378.
