Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Cooperative Agreement with The Nature Conservancy for Santa Cruz Island Mgmt" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00206) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice announcing the agency's intent to make a non-competitive award to support management-related activities on Santa Cruz Island. It is explicitly posted as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a Request for Applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the general public and there is no open competition process associated with this posting. Instead, the purpose is to provide public transparency that the NPS plans to direct funding for specific project activities through a cooperative agreement mechanism.
This opportunity falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work being funded, such as participating in planning, coordination, technical input, or oversight alongside the recipient. The work aligns with the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which signals that the supported activities are tied to stewardship and management of natural resources within the National Park System.
The total anticipated funding under this cooperative agreement is expected to be up to 1,000,000 dollars, with an award ceiling of 1,000,000 dollars and no minimum award amount specified (award floor listed as 0). Rather than being issued as a single lump-sum award for all activities at once, the announcement notes that funding will be obligated through individual Task Agreements. In practice, this typically means the overarching cooperative agreement establishes the partnership framework, while discrete tasks, scopes of work, deliverables, timelines, and funding amounts are handled through separate task-level agreements issued over time. The posting also states that total anticipated awards under the cooperative agreement should not exceed 1 million dollars, indicating a cap across all tasks funded through this arrangement.
No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the federal funding is not contingent on the recipient providing a required non-federal match. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the named partner in the title: The Nature Conservancy. Because the notice is not a solicitation, the eligibility statement mainly reflects the type of organization intended to receive the award rather than inviting multiple applicants to apply.
Key dates show the posting and creation date as August 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014. Even though a closing date is listed, the notice repeatedly emphasizes that it is not accepting applications; the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submission.
