Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent Park Stewards Program Christiansted VI" under Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00252. The announcement is structured as a notice of intent, meaning it signals the agency's plan to make an award rather than inviting an open competition. In this case, the NPS states its intent to award a cooperative agreement to the organization Inner Change to support a park stewards program connected to Christiansted National Park in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in carrying out the project activities, as opposed to simply providing a grant with less day-to-day federal participation. The activity aligns with NPS program areas listed under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education) and is categorized within humanities and natural resources, reflecting the mix of cultural resource stewardship, public engagement, education, and conservation work that park steward programs often include.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $11,280. The award ceiling is also $11,280 and the award floor is listed as $0, which typically means the agency set a maximum and did not guarantee a minimum in the public listing. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligible applicant types shown in the posting include private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility categories are listed, the notice of intent language makes clear that the agency planned to make the award to a specific organization (Inner Change) for the Christiansted park stewards program rather than solicit proposals broadly.
Key dates in the listing are tightly grouped, consistent with a notice of intent rather than a competitive application window. The posted date and creation date are August 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014. The listing also provides an additional information link through Grants.gov. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed is Celinda Hicks, Agreements Officer, at 305-242-7742 and CelindaHicks@nps.gov.
