Opportunity Summary:
NOTICE OF INTENT: The Modern Memorial Challenge (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00230) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS), offered through a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.954). Posted and created on June 10, 2016, it carried a single application deadline of June 19, 2016. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $28,783.
The core purpose of this notice is not to fund construction or implementation of any memorial design. Instead, it reflects an administrative modification being made through a task agreement related to the Modern Memorials Challenge Competition. The key change is about intellectual property: the agreement is being adjusted so that the competition designers retain ownership rights to their ideas and concepts submitted for the challenge. In practical terms, the National Park Service is signaling that it wants designers to be able to take their concepts and potentially pursue development or implementation outside the competition framework, because the project itself is not moving forward with building or executing any of the submitted designs.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that do not hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That eligibility constraint suggests the award is aimed at a specific type of nonprofit partner that can work with NPS under a cooperative agreement structure, likely to support the competition administration and the rights-ownership adjustment described in the notice. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a narrowly scoped cooperative agreement tied to competition management and rights clarification, rather than a broader grant for memorial planning, design services for a selected site, or physical project delivery.
