Opportunity Summary:
The State Reviewer Training opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00056) was a National Park Service discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). Its core goal was to strengthen how State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) staff review rehabilitation projects that are applying for certification under the federal historic preservation tax credit program. In practical terms, the award was meant to support a structured training event so state-level reviewers could apply the federal standards and review procedures more consistently when evaluating proposed rehabilitation work on historic properties.
The scope of work centered on organizing and delivering in-person training for SHPO staff, including logistical and participant support costs that make the training feasible. The announcement specifies that the agreement would cover hotel arrangements to both house participating state reviewers and provide space for classroom sessions, along with partial reimbursement for reviewers transportation. Because this was structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, it implies an active partnership model where the National Park Service would likely remain involved in coordinating, guiding, or overseeing aspects of the training to ensure it aligns with federal tax credit certification requirements.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively targeted and limited, reflecting a single planned award rather than a broad competitive program. The expected number of awards was 1, with an estimated total funding amount of $61,412. The award ceiling was also $61,412, indicating the full amount was essentially set for this single project, while the award floor was listed as $1. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. This suggests the National Park Service intended to work with a qualified nonprofit capable of hosting and administering training logistics and reimbursements, rather than routing the effort through a university or directly through state agencies.
In terms of timing and availability, the posting and creation date were March 31, 2014, and the archive date was April 11, 2014. The closing date is explicitly labeled as Notification of Intent to Award, with a clear note that no applications would be accepted. That language indicates this was not an open competition on Grants.gov, but rather a pre-selected or sole-source style announcement used to document the planned award and provide public notice.
Anyone needing more information was directed to the Grants.gov listing and to contact John Bechtold at the National Park Service (303-969-2492, JohnBechtold@nps.gov) for assistance accessing the full announcement or related details.
