Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Design, Pilot, Disseminate CE Models to Connect People to Olmsted designed Landscapes" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 13 NERO 0110). The purpose of the notice is simply to inform the public that NPS plans to fund specific project activities; it is explicitly not a request for applications and does not invite open competition. In other words, this announcement functions as a transparency and compliance step to document NPS's intent to proceed with a non-competitive award arrangement rather than running a standard competitive grant process.
The project is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, reflecting an arrangement where NPS anticipates substantial involvement or collaboration with the recipient in carrying out the work. The funding would be issued by adding funds to an existing Task Agreement (P13AC01081) under a broader Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00792) with the National Association for Olmsted Parks. This indicates that the recipient organization and the federal agency already have an established partnership framework, and this action is an incremental funding addition to support the described activities rather than a brand-new standalone award.
The thematic focus of the opportunity falls under Education, Environment, and Natural Resources, and it is tied to the CFDA program number 15.946, Cultural Resources Management. The intent implied by the title is to develop and test (pilot) CE models and then share them broadly (disseminate) to help connect people to landscapes designed by Frederick Law Olmsted or associated Olmsted-designed park and landscape resources. While the notice does not spell out the acronym "CE," the overall framing suggests models and approaches meant to improve public connection, engagement, or learning related to these culturally significant designed landscapes.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement lists a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $31,100. The award floor and ceiling are both $31,100, meaning the amount is fixed rather than a range. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, signaling that the project is expected to be supported by both federal funds and non-federal contributions (cash or in-kind), consistent with many partnership-driven cultural and educational initiatives.
Eligibility is shown as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. However, because this is a Notice of Intent to Award tied to a specific existing agreement and task agreement with the National Association for Olmsted Parks, the practical effect is that the award is already targeted rather than available to the wider eligible universe. The original posting date is August 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2013, and an archive date of August 14, 2013, reflecting a short public notice window typical of intent-to-award announcements.
