Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Upgrading Curation and Cataloging Collections of the Southeast Archeological" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00527) is a National Park Service, Department of the Interior funding action centered on improving the management and documentation of archeological collections held by the Southeast Archeological Center (SEAC). The project is specifically aimed at cataloging and upgrading curatorial records for materials associated with SEAC Accession 562, which consists of collections from 1930s-era Works Progress Administration (WPA) excavations in Glynn County, Georgia. Those excavations were overseen by archeologist Preston Holder, and the effort also extends to additional WPA-excavated archeological sites in Chatham County, Georgia that were conducted under the State of Georgia.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and is planned to be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service anticipates having substantial involvement in coordinating or guiding the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The activity category is listed as science and technology and other research and development, which fits the practical, collections-based nature of the project: organizing legacy archeological materials, improving records, and bringing older collections up to modern cataloging and curation standards so they are easier to manage, locate, and use for research, compliance, and interpretation.
A key detail is that this announcement is not an open call for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund these specific project activities without full and open competition. In other words, the agency had a particular recipient or partnership structure in mind and published this notice to document that intent rather than solicit proposals broadly. The eligible applicant category is "public and state controlled institutions of higher education," indicating that a state or public university (or a similar state-controlled higher education institution) is the intended type of partner for carrying out the cataloging and curatorial upgrade work.
Financially, the announced maximum award amount is $80,000, and the National Park Service expected to make one award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, and the posting date (creation date) is August 22, 2016. Overall, the project is best understood as a targeted investment in rehabilitating and properly documenting important New Deal-era archeological collections from coastal Georgia WPA fieldwork, ensuring those materials and their associated documentation are stabilized, findable, and usable within SEACs museum and archival management systems.
