About this opportunity

This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. OVERVIEW The Hampton University, a historically black institution, is committed to multiculturalism. Founded in 1868 during the days of Reconstruction, it has embraced the principles of "Education for life" and "learning by doing," since its founding. In 1878, Hampton established a formal education program for Native Americans, beginning the Institute's lasting commitment to serving a multicultural population. The mission of Hampton University, a comprehensive institution of higher education, is dedicated to the promotion of learning, building of character and preparation of promising students for positions of leadership and service. Research and public service are integral parts of Hampton's mission. In order to enhance scholarship and discovery faculty are engaged in grants. Faculty, staff and students provide leadership and service to the University as well as the global community. In achieving its mission, Hampton University offers exemplary programs and opportunities which enable students, faculty and staff to grow, develop and contribute to our society in a productive, useful manner.
