Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement focused on public education and interpretation related to the Boston Massacre. The project to be supported is titled "Commemorate the Boston Massacre through Blood on the Snow," which centers on a museum theater piece staged at the Old State House, paired with related educational programs. The announcement is explicitly not a call for proposals and not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public transparency step to inform the public that NPS intends to fund these activities without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0117 and falls within the Education activity category. The assistance instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaboration on program goals, interpretation standards, educational outcomes, scheduling, or other coordination typical of NPS-supported public history and outreach work. The listing anticipates one award, indicating that the work is intended for a specific project and likely a specific partner organization suited to deliver museum theater programming at the Old State House and associated educational components.
Funding for the effort is set at a total of $60,000, with the award ceiling and floor both fixed at $60,000, meaning the planned award amount is exactly $60,000 rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required by the grant terms described here to contribute additional non-federal funds to meet a match threshold. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the opportunity is 15.954, labeled "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," situating the project within NPS outreach and educational mission work rather than construction or land acquisition.
The notice was posted and created on August 10, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 19, 2015, and it was archived on August 20, 2015. Those dates function more as an administrative window for the public notice period than as a deadline for submitting applications, since the announcement is not soliciting applications. Eligibility is broadly shown as "Others," with the note to consult additional eligibility information, but the key practical point remains that the agency is proceeding with an intended award without open competition.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed grants management contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced in the notice.
