Opportunity Summary:
The Johnstown Area Preservation and Heritage opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0075) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make an award connected to preserving and promoting the heritage and culture of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. It is classified as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to remain substantially involved in the project activities rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that the work is focused on preservation and promotion of local heritage and culture.
A key point is that this posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications. In practical terms, it is not an open competition where organizations submit proposals to be considered. Instead, the NPS is giving public notice that it plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive action: a modification (identified as modification 0003) to an already-existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4130070013) with the Johnstown Area Heritage Association. The intent is to continue or adjust previously established work under that existing agreement rather than solicit new applicants.
The award information is very specific and narrow. The NPS anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total funding of $45,000. The ceiling and floor are both listed at $45,000, indicating the amount was effectively fixed for this action rather than a range. The posting also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of the total project cost through cash, in-kind support, or other allowable match, consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the announcement is not open for competition and is tied to a specific modification of an existing cooperative agreement with the Johnstown Area Heritage Association, the eligibility field is more a reflection of the type of entity involved than an invitation for other nonprofits to apply. The public posting serves transparency purposes by documenting that the government intends to proceed without full and open competition for this particular action.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on July 27, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2011, and an archive date of August 2, 2011. Those dates reflect the administrative window for the public notice on Grants.gov rather than an application deadline in the usual sense, since the NPS was not soliciting proposals.
Anyone needing the full details was directed to consult the attachment under the full announcement link on Grants.gov.
