Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Public Knowledge of Civil War through Interpretation" under Funding Opportunity Number AH5490090011. The program was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expected to stay actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category was listed as education, signaling that the core purpose was to support learning and public understanding, specifically related to the Civil War and how it is interpreted for audiences.
This opportunity was designed to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $33,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor were $33,000, indicating the National Park Service intended to fund one project at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the selected recipient would not have been required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The announcement also notes that the funds were FY09 funds and were "obligated and chargeable to 5450 SZM," which is internal federal budgeting language indicating the fiscal year and account/charging code that would be used to support the agreement.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education. In practice, that restriction would generally mean private colleges and universities (and potentially certain affiliated academic entities) were the intended applicants, as opposed to public universities, nonprofit organizations outside academia, state or local governments, or individual applicants. The CFDA number was listed as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," suggesting the opportunity did not map neatly to a standard, established CFDA program number in the listing provided.
Key dates show the opportunity moved quickly. The posting date was October 23, 2009, with a creation date of October 20, 2009. The original and current closing date were both October 28, 2009, giving applicants a short window to apply. The archive date was November 27, 2009, which is when the listing was formally moved into an archived status after the application period ended.
For applicant support, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service. The notice provided a phone number (404-507-5747) and email (cherylrichardson@nps.gov), specifically inviting prospective applicants to reach out if they had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
