Opportunity Summary:
The Development of LandScope Chesapeake grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0048) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, discretionary funding notice that serves as a public "Notice of Intent to Award" rather than an open solicitation. In practical terms, it is not a request for applications and does not invite competition; instead, it announces NPS's intention to enter into a specific cooperative agreement without full and open competition. The agreement identified is Cooperative Agreement R4250120066, and the intended cooperator is NatureServe, Inc., which is consistent with the eligibility category listed (nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education). The posting makes clear that anyone looking for an opportunity to apply should understand that the award is effectively predetermined, and the announcement is primarily for transparency and public record.
The project is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects. While the short public-facing text does not provide technical detail about the planned work, the title indicates the effort focuses on the development of "LandScope Chesapeake," which by naming and context suggests a land and conservation-oriented information or mapping product for the Chesapeake region. The notice directs readers to consult the attachment in the "Full Announcement" section for complete details about the project activities, indicating that the substantive scope, deliverables, and work plan are contained in that supplemental document rather than in the brief synopsis.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed: the estimated total funding is $25,000, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $25,000, meaning the single expected award is for exactly that amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is anticipated, further reinforcing that this is a single, targeted cooperative agreement rather than a competitive grant program. The opportunity was posted and created on June 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2012, and an archive date of July 25, 2012, which reflects a short public notice window typical of intent-to-award announcements.
For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473. The email field appears truncated in the provided text, so the phone contact is the most reliable route if the full attachment is not accessible through the listing.
