Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Appalachian Trail Volunteer Support and Training" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 11 NERO 0047), is a National Park Service notice of intent to award funds rather than an open grant competition. In plain terms, the NPS is using this posting to publicly document that it plans to issue funding for specific project work without soliciting applications from the broader public. The award is being made under an existing cooperative agreement (H0500000002) with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, through a specific task agreement identified as P11AT40511. Because it is not a request for applications, organizations should not treat it like a typical Grants.gov funding opportunity where multiple applicants submit proposals for review.
The purpose of the funded work falls under conservation activities intended to "develop, promote, and protect the Appalachian Trail." The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement or collaboration in carrying out the project compared with a standard grant. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified in the announcement as Appalachian Trail conservation, which aligns with NPS stewardship responsibilities for units and resources under its care and partner-managed conservation landscapes.
The announcement indicates there is expected to be one award in total, and it is structured as a single fixed funding amount: the estimated total funding is $193,872, with both the award ceiling and award floor also set at $193,872. That combination usually signals that the NPS already knows the exact amount it plans to obligate for the defined task under the existing agreement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, given the nature of the posting as a sole-source notice tied to an existing cooperative agreement, the practical eligible/selected partner for this action is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, as explicitly stated in the description. The posting and archival dates reflect the administrative timeline: it was posted and created on June 23, 2011, had an original and current closing date of June 28, 2011, and was archived on June 29, 2011. Those dates function more as a public notice window than a true application deadline, since the NPS is not accepting proposals.
For anyone trying to locate further detail, the NPS directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for the complete notice text. If there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at the National Park Service (phone: 215-597-6476).
