Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service FY 14 Youth Summit (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00337) is a discretionary funding notice describing the National Park Service's intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award tied to community development activities. The notice is explicitly issued as a "notice of intent" rather than a standard open competition, and it cites the Department of the Interior's policy authority under 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for using a noncompetitive (single-source) approach. In practical terms, this means the announcement is informational and procedural, not an invitation for the general public or other organizations to submit proposals.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The planned instrument is a cooperative agreement, indicating that the National Park Service anticipated substantial involvement in carrying out the project (for example, coordination, technical participation, or shared responsibilities), rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The total estimated funding amount is $32,356, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which commonly signals that the amount and structure are predetermined for this specific action rather than variable based on competing applications. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the notice is not a request for applications. The announcement states that it is a single-source award to Southeast Colorado Regional Heritage Task Force, Inc., meaning that organization is the intended recipient and other applicants are not being solicited or considered. While the listing may show "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility narrative clarifies that this is not an open competition and therefore not a funding opportunity for new applicants.
Key dates reflect the short administrative window typical for notices of intent: the posting and creation date are April 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 16, 2014, and an archive date of May 16, 2014. There was one expected award. Anyone unable to access the full announcement electronically was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303 for assistance.
