Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award for a project called "Review and Conserve Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Archival Films." It is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public transparency posting that the Department of the Interior, through the NPS, plans to fund specific project work under an existing cooperative framework.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. The work will be issued as Task Agreement P16AC01575 under an already-established Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676). The intended recipient is the Regents of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), participating as a partner in the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practice, this means the NPS is using a pre-qualified partnership mechanism designed to support collaboration with academic institutions and other partners on projects that align with agency needs.
The project focus is the review and conservation of archival film materials associated with Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. While the notice does not spell out technical steps, the title and context indicate activities aimed at assessing historical film holdings and taking actions to conserve them, which commonly includes inspecting film condition, documenting contents and metadata, stabilizing deteriorating materials, and preparing them for long-term preservation so that historically significant audiovisual records are not lost.
The funding opportunity number is P16AS00519, created on August 19, 2016. The listing anticipates one award with an award ceiling of $42,028. The activity categories are framed under Humanities and Cultural Affairs (with an additional "Other" category referenced in the posting), and the CFDA number is 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs. The eligible applicant type shown is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," consistent with UCLA being the identified partner.
Because this is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a solicitation, there is no application deadline, no competitive selection process described, and no opportunity for new applicants to apply through this posting. The essential purpose is to notify the public that the NPS plans to proceed with this specific award, to this specific partner, for the stated archival film conservation work supporting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
