Opportunity Summary:
The Farmington Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0128) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award continuation funding through a cooperative agreement, focused on environmental and natural resource work connected to the Farmington Wild and Scenic River area. This notice is specifically not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS intends to provide funding without full and open competition by modifying an existing cooperative agreement (P12AC31052) in order to continue previously approved project activities with the Farmington River Watershed Association.
The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, meaning it is designed to extend or sustain ongoing efforts rather than launch a new competitive grant round. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work, such as coordination, technical assistance, or collaboration throughout the project period, rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program is listed under CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, aligning it with projects that support river conservation, community-based stewardship, and related assistance activities.
Financially, the announcement indicates a single expected award in the amount of 85,000 dollars, with the award ceiling and floor both set at 85,000 dollars, signaling a fixed total intended award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified, so the recipient is not required by the announcement to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of eligibility, the notice lists eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility is stated, the key practical point is that the NPS is not soliciting applications because this is a continuation and modification of an existing agreement with a named cooperator, the Farmington River Watershed Association. The posting date and creation date are both August 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2013, and an archive date of August 26, 2013, reflecting that the public notice window was brief and the opportunity is historical and archived.
For anyone needing access to the complete announcement details, the notice directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section and provides a point of contact for assistance: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
