Preservation and Documentation of National Park Service Museum Collections | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Preservation and Documentation of National Park Service Museum Collections" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00521) is a discretionary funding action administered by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally means the NPS expects to remain substantially involved in overseeing or collaborating on the supported work rather than simply issuing a one-time, hands-off grant. The activity category is listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945.

This posting is not a typical open call for proposals. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent only, tied to an existing cooperative agreement (P11AC03805) that was previously awarded through a competitive process. Because of that, the announcement makes clear that no applications are being accepted at this time and there is no true open closing date for submissions. In practical terms, this is an administrative action communicating that the government intends to continue work with an existing partner rather than solicit new applicants.

The specific purpose of the action is a modification to extend the term of an existing Task Agreement by three additional years and to increase the funding level so that the project team can continue carrying out tasks already defined in Task Agreement P15AC01663 and its subsequent modifications. In other words, this is a continuation and expansion of previously approved work rather than the launch of a new, competing funding opportunity. The focus, as indicated by the title, is on preservation and documentation activities related to National Park Service museum collections, which commonly includes tasks like improving collections documentation, updating catalog records, ensuring proper housing and handling, and supporting long-term stewardship of museum objects and associated records.

The eligible applicant types listed are public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, reflecting the kind of academic or research partners the NPS often works with for museum collections management, conservation, and documentation projects. However, despite these eligibility categories being stated, this particular notice is not open for competition and is intended to support a single award. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is $90,000, indicating the maximum anticipated additional funding under this modification.

The opportunity was created on August 20, 2016, and its core message is that the NPS is extending an ongoing collaborative effort for three more years and adding funds to complete or continue the agreed-upon preservation and documentation work for NPS museum collections, under an already-established cooperative agreement framework.
