Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service- MEVE and GRCA NRHP Multiple Property Nominations opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00541) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The project focus, as indicated by the title, is work related to National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) multiple property nominations associated with MEVE and GRCA, which refer to Mesa Verde National Park (MEVE) and Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA). Multiple Property Nominations (often called Multiple Property Documentation or MPD/MPDF in NRHP practice) typically involve preparing the historic context, documentation, and nomination materials needed to list a group of related historic properties under a unified theme, geographic area, or historical framework, rather than preparing isolated nominations one at a time. In practical terms, this kind of work can include background research, field documentation, mapping, photography standards consistent with NRHP requirements, coordination with park staff and relevant preservation offices, and assembling the formal nomination package(s) for review and potential listing.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, and it explicitly excludes institutions of higher education from the eligible nonprofit category. The award is structured for a single expected recipient (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $44,189, meaning the maximum anticipated federal funding for the project would not exceed that amount. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the National Park Service would generally expect to have substantial involvement during the performance period, which often means closer coordination, shared decision-making on deliverables, and ongoing technical input or oversight compared with a traditional grant. The opportunity is categorized under an “Other†funding activity area (CFDA 15.945), which commonly signals that the work does not fit neatly into a single standard program bucket and should be understood primarily through the project description and program intent.
The posting indicates a Creation Date of August 23, 2016, and the Original Closing Date is listed as “Notice of Intent,†which usually suggests this was not an open, broadly competed solicitation with a typical application deadline. Instead, it may have been a notice associated with an intended award, a targeted partnership, or a situation where the agency is signaling its intent to fund a specific project with a particular partner, consistent with how some cooperative agreements are announced. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted preservation documentation effort supporting National Register nomination work connected to resources at or associated with Mesa Verde and the Grand Canyon, funded through a single cooperative agreement to an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit, up to $44,189.
