Opportunity Summary:
The Sally Kress Tomkins Fellows opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO P12AC10885) was a National Park Service notice announcing the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to support maritime heritage documentation work. Rather than operating as an open, competitive grant solicitation, this announcement functioned strictly as a notice of intent to award, meaning no proposals were requested or accepted from other organizations. The opportunity was posted on July 19, 2012, carried an original and current closing date of July 29, 2012, and was later archived on August 28, 2012.
The planned award amount was $56,394, and the funding was intended specifically for the Council of American Maritime Museums (CAMM). The purpose of the funding was to support Fellows who would complete documentation under the Historic American Engineering Record (HEAR) program, focused on maritime resources in the Pacific West. In addition to the broader regional documentation work, the award also targeted documentation of the yacht KATHLEEN in San Francisco, reflecting an emphasis on recording and preserving detailed historical and engineering information about significant maritime vessels and related resources.
Administratively, the opportunity was categorized under "Other" and used a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates a relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance, as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The activity category was listed as Employment, Labor and Training, consistent with the fellowship model in which funded participants carry out professional documentation work while gaining training and experience.
The announcement listed an expected number of awards as one, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. It also included standardized eligibility language noting "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," but the eligibility section clarified that the intent was to award directly to CAMM. The notice included an award ceiling and floor both set at $59,364, even though the stated intended award amount in the narrative description was $56,394, suggesting the listing may have reflected an administrative maximum while the planned obligation was slightly lower.
For access or administrative questions about the announcement, the listed National Park Service contact was David Gebhardt, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2346 or by email at davidgebhardt@nps.gov.
