Opportunity Summary:
The Lamprey Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding for ongoing work connected to the Lamprey River. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public or opening a competitive application process. Instead, the announcement serves as a formal public notice that the NPS plans to provide funding through a non-competitive action.
The funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported activities (for example, collaboration on deliverables, coordination, or technical participation), rather than a simple pass-through grant. This specific action is described as a modification to continue projects under an existing cooperative agreement (P11AC40845) with the Lamprey River Watershed Association, the named cooperator. In practical terms, the NPS is continuing previously established project work rather than starting a new program solicitation.
The total anticipated funding amount is $90,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are listed as $90,000, which signals the agency expects exactly one award at that amount. The announcement indicates one expected award and notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity categories associated with the opportunity include community development, education, and natural resources, which aligns with typical Wild and Scenic River assistance efforts such as watershed stewardship, public outreach and education, partner coordination, and resource protection activities (the specific scope is referenced as being detailed in an attachment in the full announcement).
Eligibility is shown as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is not an open competition and is tied to a continuation/modification of a specific cooperative agreement with a named organization, that eligibility listing does not function like an invitation for other nonprofits to apply. The opportunity was posted on August 3, 2012, had an original and current closing date of August 8, 2012, and was archived on August 9, 2012, reflecting the administrative timeline for posting the notice rather than a true application window.
For access issues or questions about the posting, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153. The announcement directs readers to the attachment under the full announcement for complete project details, which is where the specific tasks, deliverables, and continuation activities would be described.

The eligibility field does not operate as an invitation for outside applications in this case.

It means the NPS is not running a competitive selection among multiple applicants. Instead, the agency is publicly notifying its intent to fund a specific continuation action under an existing agreement.
What does a cooperative agreement imply compared to a standard grant?
As described in the notice, a cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial federal involvement in the work (for example, collaboration on deliverables, coordination, or technical participation), rather than a simple pass-through grant arrangement.
