Opportunity Summary:
The grant listing titled "NOTICE OF INTENT Civil War to Civil Rights" is not an open funding competition, but a formal Notice of Intent (NOI) issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service (NPS). In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling its plan to make a specific award to a pre-identified partner rather than inviting new applications from the public. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is expected to be issued as a cooperative agreement, with work falling under the education activity category and tied to NPS cooperative research and training authorities (CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System).
The NPS indicates it is planning to award a single task agreement to Indiana University, specifically the Eppley Institute for Parks and Public Lands. The purpose of the work is described as "Interpretive Development Program Research and Best Practices for Interpreting Civil War to Civil Rights." In other words, the focus is on research and the development or documentation of best practices that can help parks and related programs interpret, present, and communicate the historical arc from the Civil War era through the Civil Rights movement. This is the kind of work that typically supports interpretation and education efforts in parks: developing guidance, research findings, frameworks, or methods that interpreters and educators can use to tell complex, historically grounded stories in ways that are accurate, meaningful, and engaging for the public.
The opportunity reflects a relatively small, defined award. The estimated total funding is $45,000, with an award ceiling of $45,000 and a floor of $0, and the agency anticipates making only one award. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. While the eligible applicant category listed is "public and state controlled institutions of higher education," the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is Indiana University, which aligns with the stated eligibility category.
Key administrative details show the announcement was posted and created on August 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2012, and an archive date of September 7, 2012. Because it is an NOI rather than a solicitation, the "closing date" is best understood as the period during which the notice is publicly posted, not a deadline for competitive proposal submission.
For anyone needing assistance accessing the announcement, the contact listed is Sybil Winfield, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 303-969-2076 or by email at sybilwinfield@nps.gov.
