Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Cultural Landscape Inventory Civil War Defenses of Washington" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP12AC10929) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that is being issued as a notice of intent rather than as an open call for proposals. In practical terms, it is not a competitive grant opportunity where multiple applicants submit applications for review. Instead, the NPS is announcing its intent to make a single, noncompetitive award, consistent with the Department of the Interior's policy on limited or sole-source financial assistance decisions (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The announcement notes that further specifics are contained in an attached document, which would typically include the detailed statement of work, deliverables, and administrative requirements.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, as opposed to a more hands-off relationship typical of some grant types. The work is to be implemented through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership frameworks used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education projects, and a task agreement is the mechanism that defines the specific project scope, timeline, and deliverables under that broader cooperative arrangement.
The funded activity category is listed under natural resources, and the CFDA number provided is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs for Resources of the National Park System. The project title signals that the work will support a Cultural Landscape Inventory (CLI) associated with the Civil War Defenses of Washington. Cultural landscape inventories are used by the NPS to document and evaluate landscapes that have historical significance, capturing information about landscape characteristics, condition, integrity, and management considerations. Given the subject matter, the effort likely centers on documenting and analyzing landscape features and historic resources connected to the Civil War-era fortifications and related sites around Washington, DC, in a way that supports long-term stewardship and planning.
Key administrative details show that the NPS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $94,400. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0 in the summary data, which sometimes happens in notices of intent or records that do not use standard minimum and maximum ranges, even though an estimated total funding amount is provided. No cost sharing or matching is required for this action. The posting and creation dates are August 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2013, and an archive date of September 27, 2013. In the context of a noncompetitive, single-source notice, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative marker for the public notice period rather than a deadline for receiving competing applications.
Eligibility is not broadly open. The announcement explicitly states that this is not a request for applications and identifies the University of Pennsylvania as the intended recipient of the single-source award. The "Eligible Applicants" field is therefore effectively informational rather than invitational; it indicates that the recipient falls into an "other" category, but the accompanying eligibility information clarifies that no other applicants are being solicited.
For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. If someone cannot retrieve the full announcement electronically, this contact is provided to help obtain the complete documentation, which would normally contain the project narrative, expected products, reporting requirements, and the legal and financial terms governing the cooperative agreement.
