Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Engage Youth from Local Communities and Affiliated Tribes in Historic Preservation Projects" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support youth involvement in historic preservation work connected to the National Park System. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial federal participation and collaboration rather than operating as a standard pass-through grant. The funding activity is categorized under natural resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System.
This notice is not an open call for proposals and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement states that the noncompetitive approach is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is typically cited when an agency has a justified reason to select a single source rather than conduct a competitive process. The sole intended recipient identified in the announcement is Cornerstones Community Partnerships, and the eligibility section clarifies that this funding announcement is issued specifically for that single-source award rather than to solicit new applicants.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $27,320, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which is common in older federal postings when the agency does not enter a formal maximum/minimum range in the listing fields, even though an estimated total is provided. The announcement anticipated one award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on June 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2012, and an archive date of July 22, 2012. Those dates align with the nature of a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, where the short window is generally for public notice and administrative processing rather than a period during which applications are accepted and reviewed competitively.
The listing emphasizes that additional details were contained in an attached announcement. For access issues related to the full announcement, the posted point of contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
