Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00147
The funding opportunity titled "Special Resource Studies Administrative History Reconnaissance" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00147) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior effort focused on early-stage historical research and planning rather than producing a full administrative history right away. The project goal is to carry out a reconnaissance, meaning a structured survey of existing source materials that document the history of the NPS Special Resource Studies (SRS) program. The end product of this reconnaissance is intended to support the next step: drafting a clear scope of work for a future, comprehensive administrative history of the SRS program. In practical terms, the award supports identifying what documentation exists, where it is located, what condition it is in, how complete or fragmented it may be, and what gaps or research challenges would need to be addressed before a full administrative history can be commissioned.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and would be made through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a partnership-style arrangement where the agency expects to have substantial involvement in shaping or coordinating the work as it proceeds. The activity category is Humanities (noted as Cultural Affairs in the CFDA context), and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.946. The eligible applicant pool is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, which signals that the intended partner is likely a public-history, archival, or cultural heritage nonprofit rather than a university-based research unit.
The financial scale is relatively modest, with an award ceiling of $47,850 and an expectation of a single award. The opportunity was created on May 8, 2019. Importantly, it is not an open competition: the posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent only. No applications are being accepted because the task agreement is being issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC00528) that had already been awarded through a prior competitive process. In other words, the government is publicly documenting its intent to fund this specific task under an already-competed umbrella agreement, rather than soliciting new proposals.
Overall, the project is best understood as foundational work that sets the table for a larger historical study. Instead of writing the complete administrative history immediately, the funded effort concentrates on locating and assessing relevant program records and other historical materials connected to Special Resource Studies, then translating that preliminary research into a well-defined plan for the more extensive administrative history that would follow.Apply for P19AS00147
