Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service - Artifact Analysis Work opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00349) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the National Park Service (NPS). It is designed to support work tied to natural resource-related activities, with a specific focus implied by the title: professional analysis of artifacts associated with NPS needs. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, coordinating technical decisions, or collaborating on deliverables and reporting during the period of performance.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the NPS is aiming to partner with universities or similar public academic entities that can provide appropriate expertise, facilities, and personnel for artifact analysis and related documentation. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service programs and assistance listings. Only one award is expected, suggesting the work is intended to be handled by a single primary partner rather than distributed across multiple recipients, and the total funding available is capped at an award ceiling of $45,241.
The listing shows a creation date of July 15, 2016, and the original closing date is indicated as "NOI," meaning the posting likely related to a Notice of Intent or a similar pre-solicitation step rather than a standard open competition deadline. In practical terms, the opportunity appears targeted and relatively small in size, focused on a specific set of artifact analysis tasks needed by the NPS, to be carried out in coordination with the agency under cooperative agreement terms.
