Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "National Park Services War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration Content Development for Subject Site and Embedded Virtual Exhibit" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00028) supports the planning and development of interpretive content for the NPS War of 1812 website. The central purpose is to create well-researched, public-facing historical and interpretive materials that can be used on a designated subject site within the larger War of 1812 bicentennial commemoration effort, including an embedded virtual exhibit component. In practical terms, the funded work is aimed at translating historical scholarship and park resources into clear, engaging web content that helps the public understand the War of 1812, its significance, and its connections to National Park System sites.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the NPS expected to be actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. Cooperative agreements typically include substantial federal participation, such as collaboration on content direction, review and approval processes, interpretive standards, and coordination with NPS goals for the bicentennial commemoration website. The activity was categorized under "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," reflecting the research, content development, and digital interpretation aspects of building a credible, structured online exhibit experience.
The program anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $130,000. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $130,000, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the selected recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. This restriction suggests the NPS was seeking a university or similar public academic institution with the capacity to conduct historical research, develop interpretive narratives, and produce high-quality educational content suitable for a national audience and consistent with NPS interpretive practices. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.945, under Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with collaborative research and educational content development tied to park resources and interpretation.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2013, indicating a short application window. Applicants were directed to the full announcement via Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or assistance was Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov.
Overall, this grant was a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement designed to support the NPS in producing authoritative, interpretive web content for the War of 1812 bicentennial, including a virtual exhibit element, by partnering with a qualified public higher-education institution to research, write, structure, and refine content for online public education.
