Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00498
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary funding notice for a project titled "Update National Historic Landmark Nomination for the Carter G. Woodson National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00498). The work is structured as a cooperative agreement in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category (CFDA 15.946). The central aim is to update the National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination documentation for the Carter G. Woodson National Historic Site by re-evaluating and clearly communicating the propertys historic and architectural significance, then using that updated record to strengthen preservation, interpretation, and long-term stewardship.
The public purpose behind the agreement is framed as support and economic stimulation rather than the federal purchase of goods or services for direct government use. In practical terms, the NPS is using this project to broaden public understanding of nationally significant history and cultural resources, encourage active stewardship among visitors and partners, and expand participation in preservation and protection efforts. A major theme throughout the announcement is that the value of the work extends beyond the technical update itself: the updated NHL nomination is intended to function as an educational product and a catalyst that motivates organizations and community members to engage with cultural and historical resource protection in their own communities and beyond.
The expected outcomes include a strengthened, current nomination package that can be used to guide real-world decision-making. The NPS notes that the information produced will help inform park and partner management choices, including priorities for funding, maintenance planning, and interpretive programming. By making the sites significance easier to understand and easier to communicate, the updated nomination is meant to support better resource management and also build a stronger case for continued preservation attention over time.
Another key piece of the project is public sharing and outreach. The NPS indicates that the research findings and products developed through the effort will be distributed using multiple strategies to increase awareness, knowledge, and public support for historic preservation. The project is specifically expected to be highlighted through the NPS web portal and additional venues connected to the NHL program, reinforcing the idea that the final work product is not just an internal reference but also a public-facing tool that can elevate understanding of the site and of National Historic Landmarks more broadly as symbols of national heritage.
In terms of award details, the notice lists an award ceiling of $46,800 and anticipates a single award. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the announcement also makes clear that this is not an open call for applications: it serves as a notification that NPS will issue a task agreement under an already competed cooperative agreement (P17AC00725) with The Association for the Study of African American Life and History. The opportunity was created on Aug 07, 2018, with an original closing date of Aug 17, 2018, but since it is not a request for applications, those dates function more as a formal posting window than a competitive deadline for new applicants.Apply for P18AS00498
