Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Support CR GIS Spatial Data Development" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00229) was issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The activity falls within the Cultural Resources category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The practical focus of the work is technical and standards-driven: it is meant to continue ongoing efforts using newly developed NPS Cultural Resources (CR) GIS spatial data transfer standards and to produce GIS maps for the CLI that conform to those standards. In other words, the core deliverables revolve around applying updated NPS data transfer specifications to cultural resources GIS datasets and ensuring that the resulting GIS mapping products for the CLI are compliant, consistent, and transferable according to the new framework.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that NPS intended to continue funding the same project activities without full and open competition, specifically with the University of Maryland, College Park. Although the eligibility category listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," the notice makes clear that the intended recipient for continuation funding is University of Maryland, College Park, meaning other entities were not being invited to apply through an open competition process. The opportunity was posted and created on July 21, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 31, 2015, and it was archived on August 21, 2015.
Financially, the listing shows an Estimated Total Funding amount of 0, with an award ceiling and floor also listed as 0, and it states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Those zero-dollar fields commonly indicate that the posting is primarily informational (a notice of intent/continuation award) rather than a conventional competed grant announcement with a defined funding range published for applicants. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing issues obtaining it electronically was directed to contact Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer at NPS, via phone at 301-663-1481 EXT 5 or email at RitaMihalik@nps.gov. An additional information link was provided through Grants.gov.
