Opportunity Summary:
The National Coal Heritage Area implement management plan opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0067) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make an award under an existing cooperative agreement. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and, just as clearly, it is not a request for applications. In other words, this posting is meant to publicly document that NPS plans to fund specific project work without running a full, open, competitive grant solicitation through Grants.gov.
The funding is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, categorized under "Heritage Area" activities (listed under a broader funding activity category of "Other," with the explanation indicating it is heritage area related). The work will be carried out through Task Agreement J4511108091 under an existing Cooperative Agreement numbered H4511100001. The identified partner/cooperator is the National Coal Heritage Area Authority, which is the organization NPS intends to fund for implementing elements of the heritage area's management plan.
Financially, the announcement shows an estimated total funding amount of $644,000, with an award ceiling and award floor both listed at $322,000. That combination suggests the single expected award amount is fixed at $322,000 for this action, and the total funding figure likely reflects broader or related funding totals beyond this specific task action. The posting indicates cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs in accordance with the terms of the cooperative agreement.
Only one award is expected. The eligible applicant category shown is nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is not an open competition and is tied to a pre-existing cooperative agreement with a named cooperator, the eligibility listing functions more as standard Grants.gov metadata than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
The timeline included in the listing reflects how quickly the notice moved through the system: it was posted on September 23, 2010, carried an original and current closing date of September 28, 2010, and was archived on September 29, 2010. Those dates align with a public notice process rather than a typical competitive grant window, since there is no application period in practice.
For anyone needing access to the complete notice materials (referenced as an attachment under the "Full Announcement" link), or encountering issues retrieving the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
