Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Advancing Landscape Conservation in the Northeast Megaregion." This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal notification that NPS planned to make a single, non-competitive award through a cooperative agreement. The project falls within the Environment and Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program (CFDA 15.921).
The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0116 and was posted on August 6, 2012. The original and current closing date listed was August 11, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on August 12, 2012. Even though a closing date appears, the substance of the announcement makes clear that no open solicitation was occurring; the posting was intended to satisfy public notice requirements for an intended award that would be made without full and open competition.
NPS indicated it expected to make one award in total. The estimated total funding was $57,500, and the award ceiling and floor were both set at $57,500, meaning the funding amount was fixed rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period (for example, active collaboration, technical input, coordination support, or shared planning responsibilities), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient generally operates more independently.
The named cooperator for this cooperative agreement was the Regional Plan Association, Inc. The eligible applicant category listed in the notice was nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), which aligns with the identified partner organization. The notice references Cooperative Agreement P12AC31008 and directs readers to consult the attachment available under the "Full Announcement" section for complete details on the project activities, scope, and any specific deliverables or requirements.
For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement materials, the point of contact provided was Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153. The contact line also references "WSR Landscape Conservation," indicating the inquiry channel associated with the relevant landscape conservation work within NPS.
