Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "NPS Site Assessments of Womens History Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0037). This notice is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS was not soliciting proposals from the public or opening a competitive grant competition. Instead, the purpose of the posting was to provide public notice that the agency intended to fund a specific set of activities through an existing cooperative agreement arrangement, without full and open competition.
The funding was structured as a continuation cooperative agreement in the Education activity category, with a single expected award. The announcement indicates that the NPS planned to issue Task Agreement P11AT00217 (R4506110854) under Cooperative Agreement H4507060528, naming the National Collaborative for Womens History Sites (NCWHS) as the cooperator. In practice, this means the NPS had already identified the partner organization and the agreement mechanism, and the posting served primarily as transparency documentation rather than an opportunity for new applicants to compete.
Financially, the award amount was fixed: the estimated total funding was $32,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $32,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although the listing includes a general eligibility category of nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the nature of the notice and the named cooperator make clear that this particular action was intended for the identified partner rather than a broader pool of applicants.
The timeline in the listing reflects the administrative nature of the notice. The opportunity was posted on May 9, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 13, 2011, and it was archived on May 14, 2011. The short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than a standard competitive grant cycle, where submission periods are typically longer.
For additional details, the announcement directed readers to an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section and provided a point of contact for access issues: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056. The listing also references an "NPS Site Assessments for Womens History Programs Workshop," suggesting the funded work related to assessing or evaluating womens history programs at sites, potentially to support planning, interpretation, or program development connected to womens history themes.
