Opportunity Summary:
The Appalachian Trail The Trail to Every Classroom (TTEC) Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0052) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice announcing the agency's intent to make a single, specific award rather than inviting the public to apply. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and states plainly that it is NOT a request for applications. In practical terms, this means the NPS is using the Grants.gov posting mainly as a transparency step to inform the public that a particular set of project activities will be funded through a non-competitive process.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the National Trails System Projects assistance listing (CFDA 15.935). The activity category is described as conservation-related work focused on developing, promoting, and protecting the Appalachian Trail. The NPS indicates it will fund the work through Task Agreement P11AT40548 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H0500000002) with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Because this is tied to an existing cooperative agreement and a specific task agreement, the funding is not being opened up for competition among multiple applicants.
Funding details in the source data show a total estimated amount of $95,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $95,000. That combination typically signals the agency has already determined the exact amount associated with the planned scope of work and expects to make one award in that amount. The posting also indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, in this case, that eligibility language is largely informational because the notice indicates the award will be made to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy under the pre-existing agreement vehicle. The posting and archive dates reflect the short public notice window (posted June 27, 2011; original and current closing date July 1, 2011; archived July 2, 2011), which is consistent with notices that are published for awareness rather than to run an open application process.
For anyone trying to locate more detail, the announcement directs readers to consult the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link for complete information about the intent-to-award. The contact person listed for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
