Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award titled "Appalachian Trail Conservation by Youth Service in Maine" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0054). This notice is not a request for applications and is not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS planned to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement, issued as a task agreement with the Maine Department of Conservation for the Maine Conservation Corps. The overall purpose is aligned with conservation work performed by youth service organizations, with activities connected to Appalachian Trail conservation efforts in Maine.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, and the funding activity is listed under "Other," clarified as a youth program. The posted intent indicates NPS expected to make one award total. The associated CFDA number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which points to the general federal assistance program framework supporting conservation projects carried out through youth corps or similar service-based conservation programs.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $100,000, meaning the anticipated award amount was fixed at $100,000. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the agreement terms (the notice itself does not specify the match percentage in the text provided, and those details would typically appear in the attached full announcement).
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the intended recipient is explicitly identified as a state government agency, reflecting that the award would be made to the Maine Department of Conservation rather than being opened up to nonprofits, local governments, tribes, universities, or private entities. Because it is a noncompetitive intent to award, the short posting window (posted June 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2012, and an archive date of June 30, 2012) functions more as a transparency measure than an application period.
For anyone needing the official details beyond the brief synopsis, NPS indicated that complete information was available in an attachment under the full announcement link on Grants.gov. The notice also provided a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, National Park Service, at 215-597-6476.
