Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Interpretive plan and development for El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail within the Bosque del Apache NWR" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1301073) is a discretionary funding notice focused on natural resources and National Trails System projects (CFDA 15.935). The core purpose is to support the creation of an interpretive plan and related interpretive development for the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail (NHT) as it relates to, and is presented within, the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). In practical terms, the project is about planning and developing how the trail story will be communicated to the public at this specific refuge location, including what themes will be emphasized, what visitor experiences might be created, and what interpretive products or materials could be produced to help visitors understand the trail's significance in that landscape.
This posting is not a typical open competition. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, and it identifies the intended recipient as the Friends of The Bosque del Apache NWR. That means the NPS is signaling that it plans to issue a task agreement to a specific partner organization rather than solicit proposals broadly from multiple applicants. The eligibility field reflects that approach by listing "Others (see text field...)" and then clarifying that the intended award is to the Friends group under an already-established cooperative agreement relationship.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The estimated total funding for this action is $28,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the project is not presented as requiring the recipient to contribute a non-federal match. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards as one, consistent with the notice of intent and the identification of a single partner.
Timing-wise, the notice was posted and created on August 2, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 4, 2013, and it was archived on August 5, 2013. Those very short dates align with the fact that this is a notice of intent to make an award to a pre-identified organization rather than a lengthy open application window for a competitive program.
