Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award titled "Appalachian Trail - A Trail to Every Classroom." It comes from the U.S. Department of the Interior and is posted as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0142. Despite appearing on Grants.gov like a typical funding opportunity, it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to make an award without full and open competition, meaning no competitive proposal process is being opened to the public for this particular funding action.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding falls under CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that the listing exists specifically to communicate the intent to award as a noncompetitive, single-source action.
The announcement states there will be one expected award, and it is a single-source award to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), identified as a nonprofit entity. Because it is single-source, the practical eligibility is limited to that organization for this action; other entities are not being invited to apply. The notice also specifies there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Financially, the total estimated funding is $96,473, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $96,473, which effectively indicates a fixed planned award amount. The posting date and creation date are August 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2015, and an archive date of September 4, 2015. In notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being solicited.
For anyone trying to locate more detail on the specific project activities under "A Trail to Every Classroom," the notice directs readers to use the "Related Documents" link on the Grants.gov posting and open the Full Announcement. It also points users to general Grants.gov help resources via the Contact Us link, although those resources are more relevant to competitive solicitations than to a notice-only posting like this. If there are problems accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
