Opportunity Summary:
The "Appalachian Trail Trail Rehabilitation Projects" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0051) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior grant action that serves as a public Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open call for applications. In other words, it is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is explicitly not requesting proposals from the public. Instead, the announcement exists to document that NPS plans to fund specific Appalachian Trail rehabilitation work through a pre-existing relationship, using Task Agreement P11AT40547 under an already-established Cooperative Agreement (H0500000002) with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The activity is categorized under "Other," with the agency clarifying the purpose as conservation work that helps develop, promote, and protect the Appalachian Trail. The associated CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) is 15.935, National Trails System Projects, indicating the work aligns with federal support for national trail resources and related stewardship activities.
Financially, the notice indicates a single expected award with total estimated funding of $489,994. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $489,994, which usually signals a fixed planned award amount for the identified recipient and project scope. The notice also states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement tied to this award, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the funding described in the notice.
Although the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the practical effect of this particular notice is that the intended recipient is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy under the existing cooperative agreement, and the award is being made without "full and open competition." The posting date and creation date are both June 27, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2011, followed by an archive date of July 2, 2011. Those dates function more like an administrative window for public posting than a period for submitting applications, since the announcement is not soliciting them.
For anyone trying to locate the complete scope of work or the detailed terms, NPS directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. The point of contact listed for assistance accessing the full announcement is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476.
