Opportunity Summary:
The National History Day grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00077) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice structured as a cooperative agreement under an education activity category. Its purpose is narrow and event-focused: to support National History Day by providing 2015 curriculum themed books for teachers and by supplying award medals for student winners at the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest held in June 2014. In practical terms, the funding is meant to cover educational materials tied to the upcoming curriculum theme and to underwrite recognition items for students at the national-level contest.
The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $41,000, with an award ceiling of $41,000 and a floor of $0, and it anticipates making a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to meet a match. The CFDA listing associated with the award is 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the educational and interpretive mission the NPS often supports through partnerships.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Although the listing appears on Grants.gov, this notice is explicitly a "Notification of Intent to Award," and it states that no applications will be accepted. That language indicates the agency had already identified the intended recipient and is posting the notice to satisfy public transparency requirements rather than to run an open competition. The posting date and creation date are both April 15, 2014, and the archive date is April 26, 2014, reflecting the short window typical of intent-to-award postings.
Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a contract, the relationship is categorized as financial assistance and typically involves substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared with a standard grant. The announcement also provides a point of contact for access issues: John Bechtold at the National Park Service (303-969-2492, JohnBechtold@nps.gov), and an additional information link directing users to Grants.gov for the full notice and related details.
