Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "2nd Nature National Parks and the Power of Art" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NCRO NOI R3060110002) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action in the Natural Resources activity area, tied to CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. It is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant, meaning the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the supported activities, such as collaboration on program design, implementation, oversight, or evaluation.
This notice is not an open competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to issue a noncompetitive, single-source award as a modification under an existing cooperative agreement: National Park Service Cooperative Agreement No. H3060100104. The announcement explicitly cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for this approach (DOI 505 DM 2.12C), which is used to justify circumstances where competition is not pursued and a specific recipient is selected.
The intended and only eligible recipient identified in the notice is the Latin American Youth Center. The listing indicates "Eligible Applicants: Others," but clarifies in the eligibility information that this is a single-source action rather than an opportunity open to the public or to multiple organizations. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this award, so the recipient is not required to provide a financial match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $40,581, with both the award ceiling and award floor shown as $0, which is typical of postings where the agency is documenting an administrative action (such as a modification) rather than soliciting variable proposals with defined minimums and maximums. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the single-recipient, noncompetitive nature of the announcement.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 24, 2011, and it shows an original and current closing date of August 27, 2011, with an archive date of September 26, 2011. Those short windows often appear on notices of intent or administrative award notices because the purpose is public transparency rather than collecting applications.
