Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice for a grant-related action titled "Diversity in Partnerships Research and Development" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00400). This notice falls under the discretionary funding category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity area is classified as "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," and it is associated with CFDA number 15.954.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means it is not an open competition where multiple organizations can apply. Instead, NPS is signaling its intent to fund specific project activities without competition, primarily to meet public transparency requirements. The notice indicates an expectation of a single award, with an anticipated maximum federal funding amount (award ceiling) of $100,042.
The opportunity was created on August 17, 2016, with an original closing date of August 31, 2016. Because the notice is not soliciting applications, the closing date functions more like an administrative timeline for the posting rather than a typical proposal deadline for broad submission. Eligibility is listed generally as "Others," with the key details intended to be clarified in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section that is referenced but not included in the text provided here. Overall, the notice describes a non-competitive, single-award cooperative agreement focused on research and development activities related to diversity in partnerships, with NPS as the awarding agency and an anticipated funding level just over $100,000.
