Opportunity Summary:

The Maurice Rier Comprehensive Management grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0111) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award additional funding under an existing cooperative agreement rather than a new, open competition. It was issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and the key point is that it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, NPS is publicly documenting its plan to modify an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC01210) to add funds for continued project work tied to the Maurice River Comprehensive Management Implementation effort.

This opportunity is categorized as continuation funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates a more collaborative relationship between NPS and the recipient compared to a standard grant. The program is connected to CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, and it falls under the broad activity categories of education, environment, and natural resources. In practical terms, the funded work is meant to support ongoing comprehensive management implementation activities associated with the Maurice River area, consistent with NPS technical assistance and conservation planning goals under the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance program.

Financially, the announcement lists a total of $55,000 in anticipated funding, with an award floor and award ceiling both set at $55,000, meaning the expected modification amount is fixed at that level. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the added funds are not contingent on the recipient providing a match.

Although the eligibility field mentions nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that NPS intends to proceed without full and open competition. That means the practical recipient is already identified as the cooperator tied to the existing agreement, described as Maurice River Comprehensive Management Implementation, and the purpose of this posting is transparency rather than solicitation.

The opportunity was posted on August 8, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2014, and it was archived on August 14, 2014. The short window is consistent with a notice of intent to award or modify an existing agreement, since the agency is not inviting new submissions. Anyone needing access to the full announcement materials was directed to contact Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056, with the announcement noting help for those who have difficulty accessing the full notice electronically.
