Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NPS Cultural Resources Climate Change Strategy Development" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00389) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice issued under a cooperative agreement. It relates to cultural resources and is connected to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) numbers 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. The central purpose of the funded work is to continue an existing project focused on developing and refining the NPS Cultural Resource Climate Change Strategy, with particular emphasis on drafting the international context and summary portions of the strategy and coordinating comprehensive document review and section-by-section development in collaboration with NPS staff and other relevant partners.
This notice is important because it is not an open call for new proposals. The posting explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and is instead intended as a public notice that NPS plans to fund the continuation of project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means the agency had an ongoing effort already underway and intended to extend or continue that work with a noncompetitive award mechanism, rather than solicit competing applications from the broader public. The short posting and closing window reflects that intent: it was posted on September 18, 2014, and carried an original and current closing date of September 19, 2014, which aligns with a notice function rather than a typical competitive grant cycle.
The eligible applicant type listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating that the continuation partner or intended recipient fell within that category. The opportunity also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. However, the funding fields show an estimated total funding amount of $0 with an award ceiling and floor also listed as $0, which commonly occurs in notice postings when the agency is not publicly stating the amount in the synopsis, is issuing a procedural notice rather than a full funding announcement, or is reflecting administrative constraints in the public listing rather than the internal financial plan.
From a scope-of-work perspective, the continuation work centers on writing and coordination rather than field implementation. Specifically, it calls for developing the strategy's international context, which typically means situating NPS cultural resource climate adaptation planning within global heritage, conservation, and climate resilience frameworks and referencing relevant international approaches, agreements, or best practices. It also includes preparation of summary sections, which generally consolidate findings, articulate key priorities, and present overarching recommendations. Beyond those two deliverables, the work includes coordinating document review and supporting further development of all sections of the strategy, which implies an editorial and project-management role: harmonizing content across contributors, incorporating feedback from internal NPS reviewers and external partners, and ensuring the final document is coherent, consistent, and aligned with NPS policy and program needs.
Administrative details include the agency name (National Park Service) and an additional information link pointing to grants.gov.
