Opportunity Summary:
The "Appalachian Trail Natural Resource Management" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0048) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice announcing the agency's intent to fund a specific set of project activities related to conservation work on the Appalachian Trail. The stated purpose is to conserve, develop, promote, and protect the Appalachian Trail through natural resource management efforts, fitting under a discretionary funding category with an activity classification listed as "Other" (with the clarification focused on Appalachian Trail conservation).
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to make a non-competitive award under an already-existing cooperative agreement. In practical terms, that means the agency is not opening a competition or inviting new proposals from the public. The funding is tied to Task Agreement P11AT40512, issued under Cooperative Agreement H0500000002 with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. The only eligible applicant category shown is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the fact that the intended recipient is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy under the existing agreement framework.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $133,280. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $133,280, indicating the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Key dates show it was posted and created on June 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2011, and an archive date of June 29, 2011. The short turnaround is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than an open solicitation, since the decision to fund is already associated with a specific task agreement and partner.
For additional details, the notice points readers to an attachment accessible via the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, which would contain the fuller explanation of project activities and the rationale for proceeding without full and open competition. Administrative help is directed to Grants.gov navigation resources, while technical access issues with the full announcement are routed to the listed NPS contact: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at (215) 597-6476.
