Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Building the Captain John Smith Chesapeake NHT through Youth Driven Service, James River Segment," is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for applications and not a request for proposals. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS planned to make a single non-competitive award to support specific project activities tied to conservation and youth service work along the James River portion of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail (NHT).
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a partnership-style arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The planned agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P11AC00222, and the intended recipient is the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, a state government entity. Consistent with that planned recipient, the eligible applicant category listed for the opportunity is "State governments." Because this is a notice of a pre-selected award without full and open competition, other organizations were not being invited to apply through this announcement.
The purpose of the work is described under a category explanation as "Conservation Activities by youth services," and the associated CFDA listing is 15.931, identified as "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." In practical terms, the opportunity is framed around engaging youth-driven service efforts to advance conservation-related activities that support the Captain John Smith Chesapeake NHT, specifically focusing on the James River segment. While the short public listing does not provide a detailed scope of tasks, the title and activity category together make clear that the emphasis is on on-the-ground service and conservation outcomes carried out through youth participation, aligned with trail development, stewardship, or related resource-protection goals.
The total planned funding amount is $45,000, and the notice lists the award floor and ceiling both at $45,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range. The announcement also indicates that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The expected number of awards is one, matching the intent to fund a specific cooperative agreement with a specific state partner.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted on June 10, 2011, created the same day, and listed an original and current closing date of June 15, 2011, with an archive date of June 16, 2011. Those dates mainly reflect the posting and record-keeping window for the notice rather than a meaningful application period, since the announcement was not competitive. For anyone needing the full write-up, the notice points readers to an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link on the grants.gov posting. The listed point of contact for trouble accessing the announcement electronically is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
