Opportunity Summary:
The "Notice of Award Bicentennial War 1812" is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement action (Funding Opportunity Number WASO NPS P13AC01092) tied to the War of 1812 bicentennial commemoration. Rather than being an open competitive grant solicitation, it is a notice of intent to award a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement specifically with the Organization of American Historians (OAH). In practical terms, that means outside applicants were not being invited to submit proposals; the award was planned for OAH as the identified partner.
The project focuses on developing high-quality tribal research and reviewed historical content that can support public interpretation and education, especially through a national War of 1812 bicentennial website. The overall purpose is to identify appropriate research topics connected to the War of 1812, engage tribal representatives and scholars to produce Tribal Research Papers and related media deliverables, and then vet that material through a structured review and consultation process. The end use of the work is explicitly public-facing: NPS intends to translate the resulting research and reviewed content into interpretive and educational materials for the bicentennial web presence as part of its national commemorative initiative.
OAHs responsibilities are largely centered on coordination, facilitation, and scholarly networking. OAH is expected to collaborate with NPS to determine suitable research topics and to identify tribal representatives to undertake the Tribal Research Papers. OAH then coordinates the solicitation of those papers and associated deliverables, supports completion and collection of the final products (including media), and reviews submissions for quality before they move forward. In addition, OAH works with NPS to identify knowledgeable tribal members and appropriate scholars to serve on a content review panel, and OAH is responsible for assembling that panel and administering and coordinating its activities. OAH also manages logistics for content review panel meetings and tribal consultation meetings, and it takes on outreach by publicizing meeting activities when appropriate and promoting final products to OAH members and related scholarly communities so the work circulates beyond the immediate project.
NPSs responsibilities emphasize collaboration, participation, oversight, and final public interpretation. NPS works jointly with OAH to identify research topics and tribal representatives for the Tribal Research Papers and then reviews all submissions. NPS also helps identify and participate in the content review panel, providing administrative support as needed, and takes part in all content review and tribal consultation meetings while assisting with coordination when required. Importantly, NPS is responsible for creating the final interpretive and educational content for the War of 1812 bicentennial website using the material developed through the project, linking the research and consultation process directly to tangible public outputs.
Administratively, this opportunity was categorized as "Other" and used a cooperative agreement funding instrument, with a funding activity category listed as community development and a CFDA number of 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management). The expected number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $85,000 and an award ceiling of $85,000 (no cost sharing or matching requirement). The notice was posted and created on August 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2013, and an archive date of September 15, 2013. The listed agency contact for access issues was Jaime Mijares, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2755 or by email at jaimemijares@nps.gov.
