Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Youth Project: Rehabilitation of the A.T. in Massachusetts and Connecticut." This notice is not an open grant solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notification that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the award is intended to be made without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0090 and is categorized as a discretionary funding action. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, coordination, or technical input. The activity category is marked as "Other," with further clarification referenced in the full notice materials.
The project focus is rehabilitation work on the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) in Massachusetts and Connecticut, with an emphasis on a youth-oriented component, as suggested by the title. While the short notice text does not detail the exact tasks, rehabilitation of trail segments commonly includes activities like repairing treadway and drainage features, addressing erosion and water damage, improving trail structures, rehabilitating impacted areas, and completing related stewardship or maintenance work. The youth project framing generally implies that young people may be directly engaged in hands-on conservation work, job skills development, service learning, or supervised trail crew activities, though the specific design and scope would be described in the related documents referenced in the posting.
The notice lists an award ceiling of $25,000 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) program number is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs. The posting shows a creation date of June 29, 2016, and an original closing date of July 8, 2016, but because this is not a competitive call for proposals, that date functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a deadline for applicants to submit materials.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the expectation that the intended recipient fits a specific eligibility description contained in the additional information field or the attached notice documentation. In practice, notices like this often correspond to a planned partnership with a particular organization that aligns with NPS goals for trail stewardship, youth engagement, conservation corps work, or related public benefit activities. Anyone looking for the exact recipient, justification for the non-competitive approach, and the detailed statement of work would need to review the full Notice of Intent to Award in the "Related Documents" section referenced in the announcement.
