Opportunity Summary:
The New England National Scenic Trail Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0022) is a National Park Service notice that functions mainly as a public transparency posting rather than an open grant competition. The Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service (NPS), issued this as a formal Notice of Intent to Award, explicitly stating that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means the NPS was not inviting new proposals from the public; instead, it was announcing its intent to provide additional funding to a project already underway under an existing cooperative agreement.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. In this case, the notice explains that the action is a modification to add funds to an existing Cooperative Agreement (H4506100509) with the Appalachian Mountain Club. The activity category is listed under an "Other" type, clarified as management of the New England National Scenic Trail, signaling that the supported work relates to implementation and management activities tied to the trail rather than, for example, pure research or construction under a more standard category label.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity was structured for a single award, with total estimated funding of $82,500. The award ceiling and floor are both $82,500, which effectively confirms a fixed funding amount rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal support. The CFDA listing included is 15.921, identified as Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, which aligns with trail-related planning, stewardship, and partnership work that supports conservation and recreational infrastructure.
Although the listing includes an eligible applicant category of 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that the intent was to award noncompetitively by adding funds to the existing agreement with a specific partner, the Appalachian Mountain Club. The timing also reflects that this was a brief, administrative posting: it was posted April 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2012, and then archived on April 24, 2012. That short window is consistent with a notice intended to inform the public about an intended award decision rather than to solicit and evaluate new applications.
Anyone seeking the full details of the planned project activities would need to review the attachment referenced under the full announcement link (as indicated in the notice). For access issues or administrative questions about the posting, the provided point of contact was Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
