Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Living History Musicians Program (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00267) is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity announced on August 18, 2014 under CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management. The project focus is educational and cultural resource-related, with the specific goal of establishing a youth living history Civil War Junior Fife and Drum Corps at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. In practical terms, the program is meant to support activities that teach young participants period music and performance practices and then use those skills in a living history setting that complements the park's interpretation of Civil War-era history.
This notice is not a request for applications and is not being opened to full competition. Instead, it serves as a public notice of the National Park Service's intention to fund project activities without full and open competition through a cooperative agreement. Although eligibility is listed as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the posting makes clear that it is not soliciting proposals broadly. The original and current closing date shown is August 20, 2014, reflecting that the announcement functions more as a formal notice than a typical competitive grant cycle.
The opportunity is categorized under Education, Natural Resources, and an additional category explained as Cultural Resources, aligning the project with heritage interpretation and preservation-oriented public programming. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The listing also shows an estimated total funding amount of $0 with an award ceiling and floor of $0, which generally indicates that the posting is informational for transparency purposes and that specific award amounts may be handled outside the standard competitive posting format or disclosed through other channels rather than through this summary line item.
For further details, the notice directs readers to Grants.gov and provides a National Park Service contact for access issues: Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, at 301-663-1481 ext. 5 and by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov (an additional variant, ritamihalk@nps.gov, is also shown in the notice).
