Opportunity Summary:
The "Bridging the Watershed, Youth Partnership Program" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS ROCR NOI R3450110033) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action in the Natural Resources category. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the supported work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The opportunity was posted on September 2, 2011, and carried a very short public timeline, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2011, and an archive date of October 6, 2011.
This announcement is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued under Department of the Interior policy (DOI DM 505 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was providing public notice that the award would be made without competing it among multiple applicants. The eligibility field reflects this by stating that it is not a request for applications and that the award is directed to one organization: the Alice Ferguson Foundation. Because it is single-source and noncompetitive, other organizations were not being invited to submit proposals under this posting.
The funding amount associated with the action is modest, with an estimated total funding level of $26,050 and an expected number of awards of one. The listing includes no award ceiling or floor, which typically signals that the funding amount is set by the specific task agreement and project scope rather than by a range advertised to prospective applicants. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Administratively, this action was intended to result in a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (Cooperative Agreement No. H3450080117). That detail is important because it indicates the award was not being created from scratch as a brand-new standalone agreement; it was planned as a specific project or task issued under an established partnership framework already in place between NPS and the recipient. The CFDA number attached to the opportunity is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which aligns the project with federal assistance aimed at stewardship, conservation, and related natural-resource objectives.
For anyone needing the full announcement materials, the point of contact listed is Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov. The notice also mentions contacting her specifically if there are problems accessing the complete announcement electronically, reinforcing that the key details of the project scope and task agreement were likely contained in the attached announcement referenced in the posting.
