Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Conduct a Training Program Repair" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP15AC00114) was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It was posted on December 18, 2014, with a very short application window that closed on December 22, 2014, and the opportunity was later archived on January 21, 2015. The program is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs tied to resources of the National Park System, and it sits within the broader funding activity category of natural resources.
This notice is specifically described as a "notice of intent" for a noncompetitive award, meaning it was not structured as an open competition where multiple applicants would be evaluated against each other. Instead, it indicates the agency intended to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) under the Department of the Interior authority referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, a policy provision that allows certain awards to be issued without competition under defined circumstances. In practice, postings like this often serve as a public transparency step when an agency plans to fund a particular partner organization for a particular scope of work.
The estimated total funding amount listed is $60,000. The notice indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically signals that the system entry did not specify minimum or maximum bounds in those fields, rather than implying no funding would be provided.
Eligibility for the award was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). While the short public description does not spell out the work plan, the title suggests the funded activity would involve conducting or supporting a training program related to repair work, likely connected to stewardship, maintenance, preservation, or resource management needs within the National Park System. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the National Park Service would generally expect to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on planning, setting technical requirements, coordinating training content, or overseeing implementation and reporting.
For those needing access to the full announcement materials at the time, the contact listed was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303, with instructions to call if there were difficulties accessing the announcement electronically.
