Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Assessment of natural resource condition for Weir Farm National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0068) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice describing the agency's intent to make a single award through a cooperative agreement. It falls under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The core point of the announcement is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.

The project focus, as indicated by the title, is an assessment of natural resource conditions at Weir Farm National Historic Site. While the notice does not provide detailed technical tasks or deliverables in the excerpted text, the intent is clearly tied to evaluating or documenting the status of natural resources at that park unit, likely to support resource management, planning, monitoring, and stewardship decisions within the National Park System.

Funding details are explicit and fixed: the estimated total funding is $45,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $45,000, indicating a single, set-size award. The announcement anticipates exactly one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is listed as "Others," but the notice emphasizes that this is not a competitive opportunity; eligibility language functions more as administrative classification than an invitation for applicants. Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on July 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2014, and an archive date of July 6, 2014. In practical terms, those dates align with the purpose of a public notice: documenting the intent to award rather than running an application period.

For further information or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced (though not fully shown in the provided text).
