Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Prepare an Administrative History of Golden Spike NHS" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01369) is a discretionary funding notice describing the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to support preparation of an administrative history for Golden Spike National Historic Site. The work is framed as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism the NPS uses to collaborate with qualified organizations on research, documentation, and other resource-related projects tied to the National Park System. In practical terms, the project is aimed at producing a formal administrative history document that records and analyzes the site's management, development, policies, and institutional decisions over time, helping the park preserve organizational knowledge and support future planning, interpretation, compliance, and decision-making.
This posting is specifically labeled as a "notice of intent" and is described as a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). That detail signals that the NPS was not seeking open competition for this particular award and instead planned to issue the agreement through an established mechanism and partner framework. The opportunity anticipates one award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $99,979. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor, and it states that no cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would not be expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. For an administrative history project, that can mean the NPS may collaborate on scope, provide access to park records and archives, review drafts, coordinate interviews, and guide adherence to NPS standards for historical documentation. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA program numbers include 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs) and Resources of the National Park System, reflecting that the project supports stewardship and documentation responsibilities within the National Park Service.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted and created on July 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2015, and it was archived on September 6, 2015. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
