Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice, titled "Base Cooperative Agreement between the National Park Service and Groundwork USA" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00194), is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). The listed funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the supported work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity is categorized under the Education funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.954, indicating it falls within a specific federal assistance program administered by NPS.
The notice was created on July 8, 2016, and it is explicitly posted as a notice of intent to award without competition. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service has already identified the intended recipient and will not accept applications from other organizations. There is no open application window, no competitive review process, and no materials will be considered from outside parties because the agency is not soliciting proposals. The posting functions more as a public transparency and documentation step than as an invitation to apply.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). Even though an eligibility category is provided, the non-competitive nature of the announcement is the controlling factor: regardless of eligibility, no applications will be accepted because the award is intended for Groundwork USA under a base cooperative agreement arrangement with NPS.
The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling is shown as 1, which in many federal listings is a placeholder or data-entry value rather than a meaningful dollar cap, especially in notices that are not open competitions. The core purpose stated in the record is straightforward and limited to the title itself: to establish or support a base cooperative agreement relationship between the National Park Service and Groundwork USA. Because the notice text provided does not include a detailed statement of work, performance period, budget details, or specific deliverables, the summary that can be responsibly drawn from the public listing is that NPS intended to formalize or continue a cooperative partnership with Groundwork USA under an education-related assistance program, using a cooperative agreement mechanism, and to do so through a non-competitive award process.
