Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Treatment of Museum Collection Objects from Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Monuments" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI FOSU P12AC11169. It was issued as a Notice of Intent for a non-competitive award, meaning the agency had already identified the intended recipient/partnering mechanism and was not running an open competition. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2) as the authority for making this type of award, and the work would be carried out through a task agreement issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement tied to the Piedmont South Atlantic Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU).
The purpose of the project is the preservation of metallic cultural heritage associated with Fort Sumter National Monument, with the title also referencing Fort Moultrie National Monument. In practical terms, the work focuses on treating museum collection objects made of metal and completing supporting tasks that help the Park Service make better preservation decisions. A key deliverable implied in the description is the generation of data that can be used to evaluate and choose the most cost-effective treatment approaches. This suggests the project is not only about hands-on conservation treatment, but also about analysis and documentation that can guide future conservation planning, budgeting, and selection of treatment methods for similar artifacts.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during performance rather than a more hands-off relationship. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing provided is 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning the project with research, applied conservation, and technical support work that benefits national park resources and collections.
The anticipated award profile is a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $163,000. No cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would not be expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The announcement lists Award Ceiling and Award Floor as $0, which commonly appears in notices of intent or non-competitive postings where the formal competitive range is not applicable even though an estimated total funding figure is provided.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the CESU framework that frequently partners with universities for applied research and technical projects. Timing details show the notice was posted and created on August 14, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2012, and an archive date of September 20, 2012. Because it is a notice of intent for a non-competitive action, the short window is less about soliciting proposals from the general public and more about meeting public posting and documentation requirements before issuing the task agreement.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Alison Smith, Grants Management Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 404-507-5754 or by email at alisonsmith@nps.gov.
