Evaluation and Selection Criteria Project descriptions must address, and applications will be rated on, each of the criteria listed below. NPS will evaluate and consider only complete applications that separately address each of the four criteria. All criteria are rated equally. You are required to provide a detailed narrative of these elements using the project description and budget justification worksheets. These items along with other required application documents are only available through Grants.gov.

1. Significance: Describe the historic resource(s) in the proposed project and the role it/they played in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) experience. Discuss National Register significance and the integrity of the resource.

Describe how well the project will result in the recognition, understanding, and preservation of the resource.

2. Need/Urgency/Threat: Describe the current condition of the historic property and explain how it is threatened or endangered. The source(s), nature, extent, and severity of the threat, danger, or damage to the property must be clearly and convincingly argued. Discuss how the project is the next logical step toward the resource’s preservation.

3. Mitigation of Threat: Project must substantially mitigate or eliminate the threat, danger, or damage described and must have a clear public benefit (for example, historic places open for visitation or public use). Clearly state what preservation activities will be undertaken as part of this project and how they will follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Historic Preservation.

4. Feasibility: Describe all tasks and their results. Discuss your timeline (located below) and budget justification (separate document) to show that costs are necessary, reasonable, and allowable. Demonstrate how you will successfully complete the project within the given time frame (2-3 years) and with the given resources while meeting all federal requirements and guidelines. Briefly describe who will be involved in carrying out the project and their qualifications, attach resumes/CVs as applicable.
