Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a funding notice titled "Underground Railroad Conference" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO P12AC11065. This listing is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to award a specific task agreement (Task Agreement P12AC11065) under an existing cooperative agreement (H2261100002). The intended recipient is the Organization of American Historians, and the planned award amount is a fixed total of $58,505. Because it is an intent-to-award announcement, the NPS is not accepting proposals or applications from other organizations for this action.
The opportunity is categorized as a financial assistance action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls within the Education activity category. The associated CFDA program number is 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, indicating the work is connected to public history, interpretation, or educational programming tied to cultural and historic resources. The notice indicates there will be one award, with both the award floor and ceiling listed as $58,505, reinforcing that the funding amount is predetermined for the named organization and scope.
