Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, announced its intent to fund a single cooperative agreement to support a "Special History Study" for Fort Pulaski National Monument (often abbreviated as FOPU). The purpose of this project is to produce a historical study that the park can use to interpret and present Fort Pulaski's history to the public in a way that aligns with the monument's enabling legislation. In practical terms, the deliverable is meant to strengthen how the park tells its story through exhibits, programs, publications, and other interpretive materials by grounding interpretation in a well-documented, mission-aligned historical narrative.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, and it falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category (CFDA 15.946). The cooperative agreement structure typically indicates that NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project during its development, such as collaborating on scope, providing guidance on research standards, reviewing drafts, facilitating access to relevant resources, or coordinating with park staff to ensure the final product meets interpretive and management needs. The total anticipated federal funding amount is up to $75,000, with one award expected.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding opportunity number is P16AS00641, and the posting date (creation date) is September 14, 2016. Importantly, the announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications. That means NPS is providing public notice that it intends to fund a specific project without full and open competition, rather than inviting multiple applicants to compete through a standard application process. As a result, there is no traditional application deadline in the usual sense; the "original closing date" field clarifies that the notice is not soliciting applications.
Overall, the grant supports a focused research and writing effort to produce a special history study for Fort Pulaski National Monument, with the end use centered on public interpretation consistent with the monument's authorizing framework, and with NPS involvement anticipated throughout the project due to the cooperative agreement format.
