Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI 19 1407
This opportunity is a National Park Service notice of intent to award a task agreement (not a call for new applications) tied to an existing cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to update and strengthen the National Register of Historic Places documentation for Stones River National Battlefield because the current National Register materials are considered outdated and not sufficient for present-day management needs. Stones River National Battlefield was originally listed in the National Register framework when the National Historic Preservation Act took effect on October 15, 1966, and a formal National Register nomination was later accepted on January 26, 1978. Since then, conditions, knowledge, and potentially even the park boundary and resource understanding have evolved, leaving the older documentation less useful for decision-making.
The core work described is a comprehensive inventory and analysis of historic resources across the full authorized boundary of the park, explicitly including archaeological resources. The updated documentation is expected to evaluate everything within that boundary and clearly classify resources as contributing or non-contributing to the National Register historic district. In addition, the effort must clarify and distinguish the National Register district boundary itself, which is important for establishing exactly what area is being recognized and managed as part of the historic district and for aligning documentation with the current extent of protected resources.
Administratively, the listing is presented as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The funding activity category is identified as education, and the CFDA number is 15.946. The notice indicates there is expected to be one award and that the award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is announcing an intent to fund under an existing agreement rather than advertising a competitive grant with a stated maximum. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the full announcement, but because this is a notice of intent to award and explicitly not a request for applications, the practical takeaway is that the NPS is notifying the public that it plans to issue this task agreement to a partner already positioned under a previously awarded cooperative agreement.
Key dates shown in the source information include a creation date of August 13, 2019, and an original closing date of August 22, 2019, though in this context the "closing date" functions more like an administrative posting window rather than an application deadline, since the notice is not soliciting proposals. The attached full announcement is referenced as the place to find additional details about the scope, expectations, and any procedural specifics, but the central objective is clear: produce updated National Register documentation that fully accounts for the park's resources, supports modern management, and clearly defines both resource contribution status and the district boundary.Apply for NPS NOI 19 1407
