Opportunity Summary:
The New England National Scenic Trail Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0063) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single, specific award related to implementation work for the New England National Scenic Trail. It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity focused on environmental work connected to a National Scenic Trail.
This posting is explicitly a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not inviting new proposals or competing submissions through Grants.gov. Instead, the agency is providing public notice that it plans to fund identified project activities without full and open competition by issuing Modification 0002 to an already-existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4506100509) with the Appalachian Mountain Club. The detailed scope and terms of what will be funded are referenced as being available in an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond what is typical in a standard grant. The opportunity lists one expected award, with total estimated funding of $136,450. The award floor and ceiling are both $136,450, signaling a fixed, predetermined funding amount rather than a range. It also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) as part of the overall project cost.
Eligibility is described generally as limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the notice is tied to a non-competitive modification to an existing agreement with the Appalachian Mountain Club, the eligibility language does not function as an open invitation for other nonprofits to apply. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, which aligns with trail-related planning, development, coordination, and conservation partnership work.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on July 10, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2011, and an archive date of July 16, 2011. These dates are largely administrative given that the notice is not soliciting applications, but they document the public posting window for transparency.
For assistance accessing the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also directs users who need help navigating Grants.gov or general grant information to the "Contact Us" resources on the site.
