Opportunity Summary:
The Groundwork USA (GW USA) Capacity Building and Network Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00403) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than simply providing a hands-off grant. The activity focus is listed under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.954, which signals the federal assistance program area this funding falls under.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to fund specific project activities without competition. In practical terms, this indicates the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice to meet transparency and administrative requirements, rather than inviting multiple organizations to apply. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with a note that further clarification would normally be found in the additional eligibility information field, but the central takeaway remains that the funding is intended to be awarded noncompetitively.
The planned award structure includes a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $169,993. The opportunity was created on August 5, 2016, with an original closing date of August 19, 2016. Even though a closing date is provided, in noncompetitive notices like this it typically functions as an administrative timeline marker rather than a true deadline for submitting applications, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals.
Overall, this notice communicates that the National Park Service plans to support Groundwork USA activities related to capacity building and network development through a cooperative agreement, up to $169,993, as a one-time award, and that the action will be made without an open competition.
