Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to fund the Keweenaw National Historical Park (NHP) Advisory Commission through a cooperative agreement, and it is explicitly labeled as not a request for proposals. In other words, it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. Instead, it signals the government’s plan to issue a single award to support the ongoing administrative and advisory functions of the Commission that was created by federal law to help carry out the park’s mission.
The Keweenaw NHP Advisory Commission was established under Public Law 102-543 (codified at 16 U.S.C. 410yy), and its core responsibilities are spelled out in 16 U.S.C. 410yy-8. The Commission’s duties center on advising the Secretary of the Interior and supporting implementation of the park’s general management plan. This includes providing guidance on preparing and carrying out the general management plan, helping shape standards and priorities for financial and technical assistance to owners of non-federal properties within the park, advising on rules for distributing funds for development of non-federal properties, and recommending sites for interpretation and preservation through cooperative agreements. Beyond planning and funding guidance, the Commission is also tasked with helping develop policies and programs that conserve and protect the scenic, historical, cultural, natural, and technological values of the park, coordinating with local governments and the State of Michigan to implement the general management plan, and conducting historical, educational, or cultural programs that encourage appreciation of local historic resources. The Commission is also authorized to seek and accept donations and gifts consistent with the park’s purposes and management. The announcement also points to Appendix H of the Keweenaw NHP General Management Plan (1998), which further elaborates on these legislatively defined duties and frames them as essential to meeting the park’s mission.
Funding in this notice is intended to support continuation of that established work. The notice cites Public Law 111-11 (section 7101) as authorizing up to $250,000 for the Advisory Commission, and notes that a congressional statutory aid appropriation in 2008 previously supported the Commission’s ability to carry out its responsibilities. The proposed cooperative agreement described here is meant to keep that effort moving forward by providing additional funds so the Commission can continue fulfilling its mandated role.
A key point in the announcement is why the award is noncompetitive. NPS states the agreement is justified as a sole-source, noncompetitive grant under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14(B)(2)) on the basis of “continuation,†meaning the funded activity is necessary to satisfactorily complete or continue an activity already underway, and opening it to competition would harm continuity or completion. The notice also references “legislative intent†as part of the rationale, reflecting that the Commission’s existence and duties are established by statute and tied directly to the operation and stewardship of Keweenaw NHP.
From the published grant listing details, the funding opportunity number is P13AP00003, and it is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is listed as “Other,†with the clarification “Administration,†which aligns with the Commission’s advisory, coordination, and programmatic support role rather than a construction or research project. NPS anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 (no minimum award floor specified beyond $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Practically, however, because this is a notice of intent to make a sole-source continuation award and not a competitive solicitation, the eligibility listing functions more as a formal classification of the intended recipient type than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
Important timing details reflect its nature as an administrative notice rather than an application window for the public. The posting date and creation date are March 13, 2013, with a closing date of March 20, 2013, and an archive date of April 19, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.407, identified as Keweenaw National Historical Park (NHP) and Keweenaw NHP Advisory Commission Partner Enhancement Grants.
For access or administrative questions, the contact listed is Katie Schroeder, Grants Management Specialist, with a phone number (402-661-1640) and an email referenced in the notice. The announcement also points to Grants.gov for additional information, though the headline makes clear that this specific posting is not an open call for proposals.
