Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0119
The African Americans of Essex County Knowledge Transfer Project is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement notice explaining that the NPS and the University of New Hampshire have already entered into an arrangement for a specific body of work. It is explicitly not a call for proposals and not an open competition for applicants. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the project has been awarded and outlines what the work will produce and how it will be carried out. The effort is tied to the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and relates to scholarship and interpretation connected to Salem Maritime National Historical Park and the broader history of African Americans in Essex County, Massachusetts.
The central deliverable is a set of Kindergarten through 12th Grade lesson plans and supporting educational materials grounded in recent scholarship on African American history in Essex County, MA. The intent is to translate academic research into classroom-ready resources that educators can adopt, reproduce, and distribute. The content focus links local African American experiences and historical developments to themes and stories associated with Salem Maritime National Historical Park, helping schools and other educational stakeholders incorporate these narratives into curriculum in a structured, age-appropriate way.
The notice also describes how the University of New Hampshire is expected to staff and manage the work. The university will retain and develop the scope of work through a supervised graduate student assistantship, meaning a graduate student will play a central role in researching, drafting, and organizing the educational outputs under close oversight. UNH is responsible for supervising and mentoring the student to ensure appropriate methods are used and that the student builds the skills needed to complete the project effectively. In addition, undergraduates are to be included in developing the scope of work, indicating the project is meant to be educational and capacity-building within the university as well as a product-development effort for external audiences.
Another key expectation is that the university will provide templates and examples of all produced materials in a form that can be readily distributed and reproduced by Essex County schools and other stakeholder educational institutions. The notice specifically mentions organizations such as member institutions of the Essex River National Heritage Area as potential users, signaling that the materials are intended for broad regional use beyond a single school system. In practice, this means the deliverables are not just narrative lesson ideas but packaged resources with formatting, models, and reproducible components that can be adopted consistently across different institutions.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0119 and is categorized as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945. The agency posted the notice on August 6, 2018, with an original closing date of August 15, 2018, though the closing date is largely procedural given that this was not an application solicitation. The award ceiling is stated as $32,486 with one expected award, reinforcing that this is a single, defined agreement with the University of New Hampshire rather than a multi-award program. The eligible applicants field indicates "Others," but the repeated statement that this is not a request for applications clarifies that eligibility is not relevant for external parties because the agreement is already in place.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0119
