Opportunity Summary:
The National Maritime Heritage Grants Administrative Reimbursements to State Historic Preservation Offices opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00267) is a National Park Service (NPS) National Maritime Heritage Program award intended to cover the costs that State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) incur while administering the National Maritime Heritage Grants (NMHG) program. In practical terms, the funding is meant to reimburse or support the administrative work SHPOs perform to help manage NMHG-funded activities, rather than to directly fund a new round of competitive project proposals. The broader program purpose behind NMHG remains focused on maritime education and preservation: protecting historic maritime resources and increasing public awareness and appreciation of the United States' maritime heritage.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and uses a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, which typically signals a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant, often involving substantial federal involvement or coordination during execution. The activity category is Education, reflecting the program's emphasis on public-facing learning, interpretation, and outreach alongside preservation work tied to maritime heritage.
The posting and creation dates are both August 4, 2015, and the archive date is August 14, 2015. The closing date is not a traditional application deadline because the announcement states it is a "Notice of intent to award" and explicitly notes that no applications will be accepted. That language indicates the recipient or award action was effectively predetermined for administrative reimbursement purposes, rather than being opened for competitive submissions through Grants.gov.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $138,204, with an award ceiling of $138,204 and an award floor of $1. The expected number of awards is 1. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the federal dollars.
The listing includes CFDA number 15.925, associated with the National Maritime Heritage Grants Program. Although the description centers on reimbursements connected to SHPO administrative responsibilities, it ties back to the underlying NMHG mission: supporting projects that preserve maritime resources (such as historic vessels, shipwreck sites, waterfront infrastructure, maritime-related buildings, and associated archives) and strengthening public understanding of maritime history through educational programming.
Eligibility is shown as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). That eligibility line is somewhat at odds with the narrative description emphasizing SHPO reimbursements, since SHPOs are typically state government offices rather than 501(c)(3) nonprofits. The most reasonable takeaway is that the award was structured in a way that routed funds through an eligible nonprofit entity or partner to support SHPO-related administrative functions, or that the eligibility field in the listing does not fully reflect the specific intended recipient for this notice-of-intent award.
For additional details, the announcement references an additional information link (listed as http:///www.grants.gov, which appears to be a malformed URL) and provides a direct contact for access issues or questions: Steve Livingston at the National Park Service (phone 303-969-2690, email SteveLivingston@nps.gov). The key operational point remains that it was not open for applications and served as an administrative funding action connected to the ongoing management of National Maritime Heritage Grants.
