Opportunity Summary:
The Musconetcong River Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0103) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award funding for environmental and natural resource work connected to the Musconetcong River. It is not an open call for proposals and it is not requesting applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS plans to provide funding without full and open competition by issuing a modification to an existing cooperative agreement, specifically Cooperative Agreement H4507080205, with the Musconetcong Watershed Association.
The announcement describes a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically signals an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The work is framed generally as continuing previously approved project activities under the ongoing agreement, with full project specifics referenced as being available in an attachment under the formal "Full Announcement" section.
Funding is listed as a single expected award totaling $91,000, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $91,000, indicating a fixed intended amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the named cooperator, the Musconetcong Watershed Association. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 24, 2012, with a closing date of July 29, 2012, and an archive date of July 30, 2012, reinforcing that this was a short administrative notice tied to a pre-selected continuation action rather than a competitive funding round.
For access issues related to the full announcement materials, the notice provides a point of contact: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist at the National Park Service, with a phone number of 215-597-9153.
