The Department of the Interior, National Park Service announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Upgrading Curation and Cataloging Collections of the Southeast" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00446; CFDA 15.945). The notice was created on July 30, 2019, and it is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open solicitation, meaning the agency is providing public notice of its plan to fund a specific project without full and open competition and is not requesting applications.
The project is centered on improving curation through cataloging work on backlog archaeological collections associated with 1930s Works Progress Administration (WPA) excavations. The collections specifically include materials from Glynn County, Georgia (SEAC Accession 562), excavated under the oversight of Preston Holder, as well as multiple WPA-excavated sites in Chatham County, Georgia. The Chatham County sites listed are 9CH8 (SEAC Accession 249) and 9CH9, 9CH10, 9CH11, 9CH12, 9CH14, 9CH16, 9CH17, 9CH18, 9CH19, and 9CH35 (all associated with SEAC Accession 176). In practical terms, the emphasis is on bringing previously uncataloged or under-documented legacy collections up to modern cataloging and collections-management standards so they are better organized, findable, and usable for research, compliance needs, and long-term preservation.
The anticipated award structure is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during project performance compared to a standard grant. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $128,000 and anticipates making one award. Eligibility, as stated in the notice, is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education).Apply for P19AS00446
