Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) Recovery Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRA HBCU0901) is a discretionary grant program funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. It provides Historic Preservation Fund dollars to support preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration work on historic campus structures at eligible HBCUs. This announcement is a revised re-opening of a prior solicitation that closed in April 2009, and it specifically requires any applicant from the earlier round to reapply under the updated instructions and format.
The program focuses on making historic properties on HBCU campuses safe, functional, and usable. Funded projects are intended to address urgent building needs and deferred maintenance in ways that protect historic character while improving building performance and safety. Eligible work includes structural stabilization; masonry repair; abatement of environmental hazards; installation or replacement of heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) systems; replacement of damaged electrical and plumbing systems; roof repairs to stop leaks; treatment of termite damage; and improvements that provide handicapped accessibility. All activities must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, meaning the work must follow accepted preservation practices and avoid changes that would compromise the historic integrity of the structure.
Approximately 45 awards were expected under this round, with an estimated total program funding level of $15,000,000. Individual awards could range from $100,000 (award floor) up to $2,500,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for institutions that may not have readily available capital to pair with federal dollars.
Eligible applicants are Institutions of Higher Education that qualify as Historically Black Colleges and Universities as defined under Executive Order 12232, including public and private colleges and universities and state institutions that meet the HBCU definition. The funding activity aligns with Recovery Act objectives and is listed under CFDA 15.932, Preservation of Historic Structures on the Campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Key dates for this posting include a posted date of May 6, 2009, with an application closing deadline of June 3, 2009 (the original and current closing date are the same), and an archive date of July 3, 2009. Applicants were directed to access the full announcement via the listing page and to use the application package available through attachments or through Grants.gov, with emphasis on carefully following the application instructions and required format, including completing the package online and printing as specified.
