Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding action titled "Notice of Intent to Award Appalachian Trail Trail Maintenance" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0081). It is a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities related to Appalachian Trail maintenance, but it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means outside organizations are not being invited to apply for this money, and there is no open competition associated with the award.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work being carried out (as opposed to simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation). The activity is listed under the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935), with the funding activity category labeled as "Other" based on the announcement's internal classification.
The notice states the award will be issued as a single-source (non-competitive) action to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), identified as a nonprofit entity. Only one award is expected. The total anticipated funding amount is $191,154, and both the award floor and ceiling are also $191,154, indicating the planned award amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
The posting date and creation date are July 4, 2015. The opportunity shows an original and current closing date of July 13, 2015, followed by an archive date of July 14, 2015, reflecting that the notice period ended and the listing was archived shortly afterward. Anyone looking for the complete details is directed to review the full announcement via the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov, since the synopsis primarily serves as a formal public notice rather than a full program description.
