Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice for a discretionary funding action titled "Network to Freedom members competitive projects" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0169). Although it appears in the format of a federal grant opportunity, the key point is that it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal announcement that the NPS intends to provide funding for specific project activities on a non-competitive basis. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling an intention to award funding to a predetermined project or recipient arrangement rather than inviting multiple applicants to submit proposals.
The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (such as collaboration, technical input, coordination, or shared responsibilities), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The program area is categorized under Humanities (noted as Cultural Affairs in CFDA terms), and it is associated with CFDA number 15.946. The award ceiling listed is $241,340, and the announcement anticipates one award, reinforcing that this is a single, targeted funding action rather than a broad competitive program.
The eligibility field is listed as "Others," with a note to consult an additional eligibility clarification field (not included in the provided text). However, because the announcement explicitly states it will be funded without competition and is not requesting applications, eligibility details are largely informational for the public record rather than guidance for prospective applicants. The posting date is August 25, 2016, and the original closing date is September 4, 2016, which in this context functions more like an administrative posting window than a true application deadline, since applications are not being sought.
