Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action for Appalachian Trail corridor stewardship, but it is not an open grant competition and it is not asking anyone to apply. Instead, it functions as a public transparency posting that the U.S. Department of the Interior, through NPS, intends to make a single, non-competitive award for specified project activities related to the Appalachian Trail.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0109 and titled "Notice of Intent to Award Appalachian Trail Corridor Stewardship." The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in the work being funded rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The announcement states that NPS will fund the work without "full and open competition" via Task Agreement P14AC01438, issued to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00659). ATC is identified as the sole recipient and is described as a nonprofit entity.
Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $256,614. The award ceiling and floor are both $256,614, which effectively means the planned award amount is fixed at that figure. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not required under this notice to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which aligns with the stewardship, protection, and management purposes typically connected to nationally designated trails and their corridors.
In terms of timing and status, the notice was posted on August 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2014, and it was archived on August 13, 2014. Even though a "closing date" is shown (because of how grants portals format postings), the text makes clear that the posting is not an application window. Its main purpose is to document that NPS planned to proceed with a single-source award rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants.
Eligibility is similarly framed: while the system may show an eligibility category, the narrative clarifies that the only intended recipient is the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and no other organizations are being invited to submit. Anyone seeking additional specifics is directed to consult the attachment referenced under the full announcement link, and for access issues the notice provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
