Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Partnership to Develop a Management Plan and Educational Program for the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number NOIR1315120004) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on education-related work at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. The intent is to support the development of a management plan and an educational program, using a partnership approach carried out under an existing National Park Service master cooperative agreement. In practical terms, this means the award would be implemented through a task agreement issued under a broader, pre-established cooperative framework rather than as a standalone grant.

This notice is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, cited as being in accordance with DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C). That language signals that the NPS had already identified the intended recipient or narrow pool of recipients and was not seeking open competition for this particular award. The only eligible applicants listed are federally recognized Native American tribal governments, which aligns with the site context and the likely intent to ensure that management planning and educational interpretation are shaped in partnership with Tribal nations most directly connected to the history and ongoing significance of Sand Creek.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $35,500, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date were both August 20, 2012, with a very short application window: the original and current closing date are both August 23, 2012. The listing also shows "ExpectedAwards: 0" and an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is unusual in competitive grant postings but can occur in notice-of-intent, task-agreement, or administrative listings where the funding is handled under a broader agreement and the public notice functions more as a formal disclosure than an invitation to compete.

The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.914, labeled "National Register of Historic Places," and is administered by the National Park Service. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, at 303-969-2891. Overall, the announcement describes a small, targeted cooperative agreement meant to formalize and fund collaborative planning and educational work for the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site through a noncompetitive task agreement mechanism rather than a standard open grant competition.
