Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice describes a discretionary cooperative agreement the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) intended to award under the title "Base Cooperative Agreement between the National Park Service and the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers." The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00084 and is associated with CFDA 15.946. The activity category is listed as Education, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work alongside the recipient rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal participation.
A key point of the notice is that it is not an open, competitive solicitation. Both the original and current closing date fields state it is a "notification of intent to award" and that no applications will be accepted. In practical terms, this means the National Park Service posted the opportunity primarily to document and publicly announce its intent to make a single award, rather than to invite proposals from other organizations.
The eligible applicant type is specified as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." While that eligibility category is broad on paper, the structure of the notice (intent to award, no applications accepted, and one expected award) indicates the award was effectively directed to a specific partner: the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (NATHPO). The listing shows an expected number of awards of 1 and an award ceiling of 1 (as posted), reinforcing that this was a single-recipient arrangement rather than a multi-award grant competition.
The opportunity was created and posted on April 15, 2016. Beyond the repeated title statement, no additional project narrative, scope of work, or budget detail is provided in the source fields you shared. The core takeaway is that this was a formal notice for a planned cooperative agreement between the National Park Service and NATHPO, categorized under education-related activity, with no application process because it was an intent-to-award announcement for a single cooperative agreement.
