Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Foundation Transportation Scholars in the Park Program (Year 4), listed under Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00007, is a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement within the Education activity category. The core purpose of the program is to support and promote sustainable transportation solutions in national parks by placing Transportation Scholars on-site to work on transportation-related challenges and projects. For the 2014 program year referenced in this notice, the plan is to place Transportation Scholars in five different national parks, reflecting a hands-on, field-based approach focused on real operational needs and practical outcomes tied to sustainable mobility in park settings.

This opportunity shows an estimated total funding amount of $99,000, with an award ceiling of $99,000 and an award floor of $1, and it anticipates making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. The eligible applicant type is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education from eligibility under this listing.

A key detail in the notice is that it is posted as a "Notification of Intent to Award," and it explicitly states that no applications will be accepted.
