Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single discretionary award for a public-history project called "War of 1812 in Southern Maryland Traveling Exhibit and Traveling Trunks." The purpose of the opportunity is to support humanities and cultural interpretation activities connected to the War of 1812 in Southern Maryland, using a traveling exhibit and "traveling trunks" (typically portable, classroom-friendly educational kits) to bring historical content to communities, schools, and partner sites. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which commonly supports interpretation, education, and outreach activities tied to trail-related or historically significant resources.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking organizations to apply. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS planned to enter into a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. The identified recipient is the Calvert Marine Museum Society, Inc., and the agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement R4250120064. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the project structure generally implies that NPS anticipated having substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, coordinating interpretation standards, reviewing deliverables, or aligning the project with NPS interpretive goals.
The opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $36,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor also set at $36,000, indicating a single fixed award amount. One award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligibility field states nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than institutions of higher education), but in practical terms for this posting, eligibility was largely informational since the NPS had already selected the intended partner and was not opening the project up for competing applications.
Key dates show the notice was posted on June 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2012, and an archive date of July 25, 2012. These dates function more like an administrative window for posting and recordkeeping than a true application period, since the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
For additional details, the announcement directs readers to an attachment under the full announcement on the original posting site. For access issues, the point of contact is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473, with an email field indicated but not populated in the text provided.
