Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Produce Historic Resource Study: Segregation in Virginia Parks in the Jim Crow/Civil Rights Era" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00476). The project is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.946, with a single expected award and a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $96,469. The opportunity was created on August 10, 2016.
The purpose of the project is to produce a Historic Resource Study focused on documenting how racial segregation operated and how racialized spaces were created, maintained, and experienced within National Park System units in Virginia. The study is explicitly framed around the Jim Crow era and the modern Civil Rights era, and it is meant to address multiple National Park Service administrative regions that include Virginia park units, specifically the Northeast, Southeast, and National Capital Regions. In practical terms, this implies a historical research product that synthesizes primary and secondary sources to explain policies, practices, physical layouts, and social experiences that shaped segregated use of park landscapes and facilities, and how those conditions changed over time through civil rights activism, litigation, policy shifts, and evolving public attitudes.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation open to the public. The posting states that the National Park Service issued a notice of intent to enter an agreement with the Organization of American Historians under an existing cooperative agreement, and that no applications will be accepted. Eligibility is therefore effectively restricted by the agency decision to proceed without additional competition, despite the general eligibility field being labeled broadly as "Others" in the source record.
In summary, this is a single-award, non-competitive cooperative agreement intended to fund a scholarly historic resource study that documents and interprets segregation and racialized spatial practices in Virginia-area National Park System sites during the Jim Crow and Civil Rights periods, providing a research foundation that can support future interpretation, preservation planning, and public education within those park units.
