Opportunity Summary:
The Point San Jose Hospital and Ossuary Pit Archeology opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00238) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). It was posted on August 6, 2014, with an original/current closing date of August 20, 2014, and an archive date of August 30, 2014. The announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to award, meaning it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS planned to fund a specific project through an existing cooperative management arrangement with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC).
The project centers on archeological work connected to the Point San Jose Hospital and an associated ossuary pit, with the broader purpose of strengthening both professional stewardship of park archeological resources and public understanding of archeological research. The description emphasizes that this effort builds on prior successful collaborations between the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and the Conservancy, including archeological stewardship projects at Sutro Baths and the Heights at Lands End, prehistoric site evaluations in the Marin Headlands, and an archeological overview and survey of Alcatraz Island. In other words, this award fits into an ongoing, multi-site initiative where archeological investigation, documentation, and resource management are paired with interpretation and public education so visitors better understand what archeological sites are, how research is conducted, and why careful management matters.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $1, and it anticipates a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. While the eligible applicant category is described as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice format clarifies that the funding was intended to be made under an existing cooperative agreement rather than competed among applicants. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution (for example, coordinating on technical standards, compliance expectations, deliverables, or interpretive goals), rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
For reference and administrative access, the announcement points to Grants.gov for additional details and provides a direct agency contact for assistance: Kristina Bliss, Agreements Specialist, reachable at 805-370-2321 or kristinabliss@nps.gov.
