Opportunity Summary:
The National History Day 2013 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00075) is a Notice of Intent to Award from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is not a call for applications and was posted mainly to give the public formal notice that NPS planned to make a single award without full and open competition. The planned award totals $35,000, has no cost share requirement, and is structured as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P11AC00243) between NPS and National History Day (NHD). The anticipated period of performance runs from the award date through September 30, 2013, and the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS expects to be substantially involved in carrying out the work rather than simply providing pass-through funding.
The project itself is focused on education and outreach tied to National History Day programming, specifically the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest held in Washington, D.C. in June 2013. The funding supports two main deliverables: (1) producing and distributing a Civil War-themed primary source Teachers Resource Book, and (2) procuring and distributing medal awards for student winners at the national contest. The contest is described as the culmination of a year of historical research by junior and senior high school students who advance through local and state competitions to reach the national level. The medals are intended to recognize winners across multiple categories and age divisions, while the resource book is meant to strengthen classroom instruction and student research by providing educators with curated source materials and documents. Distribution is expected to reach more than 30,000 teachers, extending the impact well beyond the contest itself.
National History Day, as the recipient, is responsible for producing and publishing the Teachers Resource Book using content submitted by NPS, purchasing the award medals, and ensuring both are distributed in connection with the June 2013 national contest. Beyond those core tasks, NHD also commits to broader dissemination of NPS interpretive publications and educational materials through its large educator network across the United States and internationally. The agreement also anticipates ongoing collaboration with NPS on professional development workshops for educators and sharing information about NPS historical events and programs via NHD electronic communication channels such as email blasts and social media (Facebook and Twitter).
NPS is expected to play an active role in executing the project, which is why the award is framed as a cooperative agreement. NPS commitments include providing speakers for opening and closing contest ceremonies, supporting educator workshops by supplying subject matter experts, tour guides, and publications, and helping facilitate field trips to NPS historic sites. NPS also plans to supply publications and materials for packets prepared for 55 state coordinators and to encourage NPS staff in field and support offices to participate as judges at local, state, and national National History Day competitions.
The award is justified as a single-source action under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) using the "Unique Qualifications" criterion. NPS states that National History Day is uniquely qualified because of its established capacity and proven track record in engaging junior and senior high school students and teachers in historical research, interpretation, and competitive presentation at local, state, and national levels. The statutory authority cited is 16 USC 1g (with additional context from the NPS Organic Act), which allows NPS to enter into cooperative agreements and transfer appropriated funds to eligible entities, including nonprofit organizations, to carry out NPS programs for public purposes such as education and outreach. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education), with a single expected award and an estimated total funding amount equal to the $35,000 ceiling. The public point of contact for the announcement is June Zastrow (303-987-6718, JuneZastrow@nps.gov).
