Opportunity Summary:
The Federal Lands Transportation Program, Task 3, Year 3; Program Development (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00345) is a continuation funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the National Park Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the recipient should expect ongoing collaboration and substantial involvement from the federal agency during the project period, rather than operating entirely independently under a standard grant. The funding activity category is transportation, indicating the work supported under this award is tied to transportation-related planning, coordination, or development efforts connected to federal lands.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, explicitly excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity appears narrowly focused and targeted, reflected by an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) and its classification as a continuation action. Continuation opportunities typically support an existing project or established program of work that began in a prior budget period, with Year 3 suggesting this is the third year of an ongoing multi-year effort under the same broader initiative. The title also specifies "Task 3" and "Program Development," which implies the Year 3 scope is tied to a defined work component within a larger project structure, likely involving development, refinement, implementation support, or coordination activities rather than construction.
The award ceiling is listed as 1 (as provided in the source data), which is unusually low for transportation-related federal funding and may indicate a placeholder value, a data entry artifact, or a ceiling expressed in a non-standard way within the abstracted record. Regardless, the key practical takeaway is that this posting represents a highly specific, continuation-style cooperative agreement with a limited number of awards and a focused purpose centered on program development for federal lands transportation efforts.
The opportunity was created on July 15, 2016, with an original closing date of July 25, 2016, indicating a short application window of about 10 days. Such short timelines are common for continuation or narrowly targeted opportunities where the eligible or intended recipient pool is small, the work is already underway, and the agency is moving into the next year or phase of a previously funded project. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.944, which is used for federal tracking and reporting of domestic assistance programs and can help applicants or stakeholders identify the broader assistance program under which the award is administered.
In summary, this is a National Park Service continuation cooperative agreement opportunity for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (non-university) to carry out Year 3 "Task 3" program development work under the Federal Lands Transportation Program, with only one award anticipated and a brief period in which to submit materials.
