Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Research and Publication of Illustrated Narrative History of Lowell National Historical Park, Lowell, Massachusetts." It is not an open call for applications and should not be read as a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award mechanism, using a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement.
The planned recipient is the University of Massachusetts Lowell, specifically the Graduate School of Education and the Tsongas Industrial History Center, operating under Cooperative Agreement H1780070004. The core purpose of the funding is to support research and the publication of an illustrated narrative history focused on Lowell National Historical Park. The activity is categorized broadly under "Other," with the agency clarifying that the work is for research and publication of narrative history. In practical terms, the project is meant to produce a historically grounded, accessible, and visually supported publication that interprets the park's history for public and educational use.
Financially, the announcement indicates a single expected award totaling $50,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $50,000, meaning the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity is labeled as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement instrument type, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or participating in the project work compared to a standard grant.
The administrative details show the funding opportunity number as NPS 11 NERO 0090. The posting date and creation date are both August 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2011, and an archive date of August 19, 2011. Those dates mainly reflect the public notice window rather than an application deadline, since the notice explicitly states it is not requesting applications. The eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the intended recipient being a public university.
For anyone seeking the full specifics, the notice directs readers to consult the attachment available through the full announcement link, suggesting that details about scope, deliverables, and the rationale for the non-competitive action are provided there. The point of contact for issues accessing the announcement is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
