Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Trails Along the Potomac A Guide for Boaters" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0145) is a National Park Service announcement describing an award that has already been made, not an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not seeking applications and does not represent a competitive grant round. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the agency has entered into a cooperative agreement with the American Canoe Association, Inc. to complete a specific set of tasks related to boating information and interpretation along the Potomac River corridor connected to the national historic trails.
Under the cooperative agreement, the American Canoe Association is responsible for evaluating how useful and effective the existing John Smith Chesapeake Boater's Guide is, using input from its membership and partner organizations. After gathering that feedback, the cooperator will compile and summarize the findings, then use the results to develop and launch a dedicated Boater's Guide for the Potomac River segment of the national historic trails. The work is essentially an assessment-and-update effort: first determining what works (and what does not) in the current guide, then applying those lessons to produce and roll out a Potomac-focused guide that better serves boaters and supports trail-related awareness and use.
The announcement lists the funding instrument as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.935, National Trails System Projects. Only one award was anticipated, and the funding details show a total of $27,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $27,000, signaling a single, fixed award amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted.
Although the posting includes eligibility language (nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education), that information is largely procedural here because the agreement was already executed with the named organization. The notice was posted on September 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 11, 2013, and it was archived on September 12, 2013, reflecting the administrative lifecycle of the announcement rather than an application window for the public.
