Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Intent to Award Historic Preservation Training" (Funding Opportunity Number P12PA30140) is a National Park Service notice stating that the agency intends to fund a specific project without a competitive application process. In other words, it is not a solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit proposals. Its purpose is simply to provide public notice that the NPS plans to make a single award for the activities described.
The planned award would be made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, coordinating, providing technical input, or helping guide project implementation). The funding activity is categorized under community development, with an explanation tied to "unique qualifications." The NPS indicates the intended recipient is uniquely qualified to perform the work based on demonstrable factors, specifically noting that the National Council for Preservation Education (NCPE) can meet NPS needs by drawing on a large pool of academically trained, highly motivated student workers from diverse locations and backgrounds.
The project itself is focused on developing training in historic preservation methods, techniques, and administration. The intent is to make this training broadly available not only to government entities, but also to private organizations, individuals, and other national and international organizations. The emphasis is on building capacity and sharing preservation knowledge, which suggests a programmatic effort to strengthen preservation practice through education and workforce development rather than funding a single construction or restoration project.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and an award floor of $0. The NPS expects to make one award in total. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a specified amount of non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listing provided is 15.916, labeled "Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning," even though the described work centers on preservation training, which can still align with broader NPS program authorities and public benefit goals.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). However, the eligibility information clarifies that the agency fully intends to award to NCPE specifically, reinforcing that this is a sole-source intent-to-award notice rather than an open competition. The notice was posted and created on February 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 23, 2012, and an archive date of February 23, 2013, reflecting the standard lifecycle of public posting even when no applications are being accepted.
