Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Intent to Award to assist in the development of three urban communities" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS WASO P12AC12178), was posted by the National Park Service on June 27, 2012. It was issued as an "intent to award," meaning it was not a competitive funding announcement and was not open for broad applications. Instead, it indicated the agency's plan to make a single grant award to a specified organization, the National Association of Community Health Centers, to carry out a defined set of activities connected to the National Park Service's healthy community program.
The purpose of the award was to support the development of three urban pilot programs under the healthy community program. In practical terms, the National Park Service sought to partner with the National Association of Community Health Centers to help shape and test pilot efforts in three urban communities, presumably to explore how health-focused community programming could be implemented and refined in city settings. The activity category was listed as Community Development, and the related CFDA number was 15.916 (Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning), signaling a connection to recreation, planning, and community-oriented development outcomes that align with National Park Service goals.
Financially, the announcement projected one award with a total funding amount of $15,000. The award ceiling and floor were both $15,000, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility in the source listing was described as limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the narrative description makes clear that the intended recipient was the National Association of Community Health Centers, reinforcing that the announcement functioned primarily as a public notice rather than an invitation for new proposals.
Key dates show the posting and creation date as June 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2012, and an archive date of August 4, 2012. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Jaime Mijares, Contract Specialist, reachable at 303-969-2755 and jaimemijares@nps.gov.
