Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Support Kennedy NHS Education" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0009) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement letting the public know that NPS plans to fund a specific project without full and open competition. In practical terms, it is not a typical grant solicitation and it is not asking organizations to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that NPS intends to move forward with a pre-identified partner or arrangement for education-related work connected to Kennedy National Historic Site (NHS).
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other" (with further clarification referenced in the full announcement), signaling that the work does not fit neatly into the more common categories like research or construction and is likely centered on interpretive or educational programming. The CFDA listing is 15.931, which corresponds to NPS-related financial assistance programs and helps categorize the award within federal assistance systems.
The announcement indicates an expected single award with an award ceiling of $44,852. Key dates show it was created and posted on December 23, 2015, with a closing date of January 1, 2016, though that "closing date" functions more like an administrative posting window rather than a deadline for applicants, since no applications are being requested. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the details intended to be clarified in the additional eligibility information contained in the full announcement. Because this is a noncompetitive intent-to-award notice, eligibility language is less about inviting competition and more about documenting the planned award structure.
Finally, the posting directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and the full announcement for complete details about the project activities being supported. It also includes standard guidance for navigating Grants.gov and where to look for general grants information, but those instructions are mainly informational here given that the NPS is not soliciting proposals through this notice.
