Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS), through its Cultural Resources Program in Washington, DC, issued this discretionary funding opportunity as a cooperative agreement focused on organizing and delivering a series of regional workshops for State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) and Tribal partners. The core purpose is practical and capacity-building: NPS and the selected recipient would work side by side to plan the content and logistics for four separate regional meetings designed to serve States and Tribes in the Midwest Region, the Intermountain Region, the Pacific West Region, and the Alaska Region. These workshops are intended to strengthen coordination, share best practices, and support the day-to-day work of state and tribal preservation programs by creating structured spaces for training, networking, and information exchange.

The work supported under the agreement centers on full conference-style development and delivery. That includes shaping the agenda and program content, identifying and selecting speakers, handling outreach and publicity so the right audiences know about the events, and producing the materials participants need during the workshops (for example, schedules, session handouts, and other conference resources). A notable component of the project is scholarship support for SHPO and Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) personnel. Those scholarships are meant to reduce financial barriers to attendance by helping cover costs so staff from State and Tribal preservation offices can participate, which is especially important for smaller offices or those with limited travel budgets.

From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00379 with the title "Regional Workshops for State Historic Preservation Officers." It falls under the Cultural Resources Management CFDA listing (15.946) and is categorized as a cultural resources activity. The anticipated award count was one (1) cooperative agreement, with an estimated total federal funding amount of $60,136; the ceiling was also $60,136, indicating a single, defined budget level for the task. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement attached, so the recipient would not have been required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. However, this notice was explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it was not an open competition and NPS was not accepting applications. The listing functioned as a formal public notice that funding would be provided via a task agreement rather than through a standard proposal process. The posting date and creation date were September 2, 2015, and the archive date was September 12, 2015. For issues accessing the announcement, the contact listed was Steve Livingston at the National Park Service (phone 303-969-2690, email SteveLivingston@nps.gov).
