Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 Great Falls Youth Corps opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0075) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, which is an important distinction: it is not a request for applications and it is not inviting organizations to compete for the funding. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the National Park Service plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive award process, meaning the agency intends to proceed without full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. Cooperative agreements are often used when an agency anticipates collaboration, shared responsibilities, or ongoing federal participation in planning, oversight, or implementation of the funded activities. The funding activity category is listed as Employment, Labor and Training, and the associated CFDA number is 15.931, which points to the broader federal assistance program area under which this type of project is supported.
In terms of scale and timing, the opportunity was created and posted on June 8, 2016, with a closing date of June 17, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The award ceiling is $55,000, and the listing anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the closing date functions more like an administrative posting window for public transparency rather than a deadline for submitting applications.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. However, given the non-competitive nature of a notice of intent to award, eligibility typically reflects the type of partner the agency plans to fund (often a specific organization or a narrowly defined class of entities), rather than an open invitation for broad applicant pools. In practical terms, this posting is mainly relevant for awareness and accountability, documenting that the National Park Service intends to move forward with a particular Youth Corps-related project at Great Falls under a cooperative agreement and up to the stated funding limit, rather than initiating a competitive grant process.
