Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a formal Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Oral History Overview and Assessment for Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park." The key point of the notice is that it is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, the posting serves as a public notification that the NPS plans to fund specific work through a pre-existing cooperative agreement framework, without full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement in the cultural resources and humanities arena (listed under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The activity focus is described as Cultural Resources, reflecting work that supports the preservation, documentation, and understanding of historically and culturally significant places and the experiences connected to them. In practical terms, the project centers on oral history: reviewing what oral history work already exists for the park and assessing needs, gaps, and priorities for future oral history documentation related to Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park.
The intended recipient is the University of Hawaii, identified as an eligible applicant type (a public or state-controlled institution of higher education) and specifically referenced as a partner under the Hawaii Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The NPS indicates it will fund the work through Task Agreement P15AC01534 under an existing Cooperative Agreement, P14AC00637, which is the mechanism that allows the NPS and the university partner to collaborate on the defined project activities.
Funding details are fully specified and fixed in the announcement. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $88,218. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $88,218, which signals that the project amount is set rather than a variable range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The notice was posted and created on August 17, 2015, and archived on August 27, 2015. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a solicitation, both the original and current closing dates are explicitly labeled "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS." The announcement also provides an additional information link through Grants.gov and lists a point of contact for access issues: William Nash, Contract Specialist, at 415-623-2262 and WilliamNash@nps.gov.
