Opportunity Summary:
The National Workshop on Large Landscape Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0104) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award funding under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning it is not an open competition where new applicants can apply. Instead, the notice serves as a public transparency step announcing that NPS intends to enter into a specific task agreement without full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement and is categorized under education, environment, and natural resources. The activity is tied to Task Agreement P14AC01399 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P12AC30611) with the Chesapeake Conservancy. In practical terms, this indicates the work is a continuation or extension of an established partnership arrangement rather than a new, competitively bid grant. The funding is intended to support project activities associated with convening or delivering a national workshop focused on large landscape conservation, which generally refers to conservation planning and collaboration at broad, multi-jurisdictional scales (for example, across park units, watersheds, migration corridors, and mixed land ownerships).
Financially, the opportunity lists a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both $90,000, which signals a fixed anticipated award amount rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.935 (National Trails System Projects), suggesting the work may relate to national trails or landscape-scale connectivity and stewardship themes that align with trail corridors and regional conservation priorities.
Although the eligibility field mentions 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), that detail is largely academic in this case because the announcement is not soliciting proposals. The document states NPS intends to award specifically to the Chesapeake Conservancy, and directs readers to the attachment in the full announcement for complete details. The posting date is August 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2014, and an archive date of August 10, 2014, reflecting the short public notice window typical of intent-to-award postings rather than a standard application period.
For questions or if someone cannot access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
