Opportunity Summary:
The American Trails Task Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI WASOP12AC12447) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent, meaning it is informational and signals an upcoming award rather than inviting new applications. NPS indicates it plans to make a single award as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P12AC30724) with American Trails. The purpose of the planned task agreement is to support shared work focused on national recreation trails and on activities connected to the 21st International Trails Symposium, aligning the effort with education and training-related objectives tied to the National Park System.
This opportunity is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally implies a collaborative relationship where NPS and the recipient coordinate on project activities rather than a simple purchase of services. The total estimated funding is $15,000, with an award ceiling of $15,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). NPS expects to make one award, and the listing specifies there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The notice was posted and created on July 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 20, 2012, and it was archived on August 19, 2012. Because it is a Notice of Intent tied to an existing cooperative agreement, the short timeline and framing suggest NPS was documenting its intention to proceed with a specific partner rather than running an open competition.
