Opportunity Summary:
THEMATIC FRAMEWORK, CIVIL RIGHTS IN NCR (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00461) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior that supports an education-focused project delivered through a cooperative agreement. The purpose of the work is to create a Thematic Framework that documents and interprets the history of civil rights in the National Capital Region, with particular attention to Washington, DC and the portions of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia that fall within the region. The resulting framework is intended to be grounded in and consistent with the National Park Service approach already established in the 2002 report Civil Rights in America: A Framework for Identifying Significant Sites (revised in 2008), essentially taking that national-level framework and applying it in a targeted, region-specific way.
The core deliverable is a structured historical framework rather than construction or direct site work. In practice, that means organizing the civil rights story of the NCR into clear themes, topics, and contexts that can be used to identify, evaluate, and interpret places connected to civil rights history. By explicitly tying the project to the 2002/2008 NPS framework, the opportunity signals that the study should follow an established methodology for defining significance, connecting events and movements to geography, and setting out interpretive categories that can later guide research, preservation planning, nominations, and public interpretation across multiple jurisdictions.
Eligibility for the underlying agreement is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The award information indicates an expected single award with an award ceiling of $94,260. The listing is labeled as a Notice of Intent only, meaning it is not an open call for proposals. The notice explains that the task is being awarded under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00289) that had already been competitively awarded, and that no new applications are being accepted. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.945 and was posted with a creation date of August 9, 2016.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a scoped, method-driven research and interpretive planning project: a regional civil rights thematic framework aligned with NPS standards, meant to help the Park Service and partners consistently recognize and contextualize significant civil rights sites and stories across the National Capital Region.
