Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00767
The Museum Collection Relocation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00767) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It sits in the Education funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.946. The purpose is straightforward and operational: support hands-on museum collections management work needed to prepare for, and work through, a major upgrade to collection storage infrastructure, specifically the installation of a new compact shelving storage system for a park museum collection.
The project centers on practical, technical collections tasks that must happen when storage environments are reconfigured. Staff supported through this task agreement would work on moving and relocating collection items, rehousing them in appropriate archival materials, and maintaining control over the location and status of objects through tracking. The scope also includes core museum accountability and stewardship functions such as documentation and cataloging, and it explicitly mentions de-accessioning for items that may be identified through the process as appropriate for removal from the collection under established museum standards and policies. In other words, it is not only about physically shifting objects from one place to another, but also about improving organization, storage quality, and the accuracy of collection records while the storage system is being modernized.
A key feature of this announcement is that it is a notice of intent to award, not an open call for applications. The NPS states that this funding will be issued under an existing cooperative agreement with SFMNPA (a long-time nonprofit partner that has supported preservation of the park's collections for decades). The cooperative agreement structure reflects that NPS and SFMNPA personnel will collaborate directly, with the nonprofit funded to provide staff time and supplies while coordinating closely with park museum management staff and professional museum curators. This arrangement is framed as a continuation and extension of an ongoing, multi-year effort: the park received initial funding in 2016 for a five-year project, and this task agreement supports the specialized labor and materials needed to carry out the multi-step work required during a large-scale storage conversion.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and anticipates a single award, with an expected award amount up to an award ceiling of $100,000. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because the posting is explicitly a notice of intent to award under an existing agreement, it functions primarily as public transparency about an award the agency plans to make rather than a competitive funding opportunity. The notice was created on August 31, 2017, with an original closing date listed as September 14, 2017, consistent with federal posting practices even when no applications are being solicited.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for a collaborative collections relocation and rehousing effort triggered by the installation of compact shelving. It emphasizes careful stewardship during a disruptive infrastructure project, ensuring objects are protected, properly housed, accurately documented, and fully accounted for before, during, and after the storage system upgrade.Apply for P17AS00767
