Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award titled "Appalachian Trail Volunteer Leadership" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0103). This notice is not a request for applications and is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for specific project activities.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The underlying program is tied to CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which generally supports efforts related to the stewardship, management, and enhancement of designated national trails. In this case, the activity focus is framed under an "Other" funding activity category, with the clarification that the listing exists solely to announce the agency's intent to fund the project without full and open competition.
NPS indicates this will be a single-source award to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC), identified in the notice as a nonprofit organization. Because it is single-source and non-competitive, the posting is mainly about transparency: it tells the public who the intended recipient is and that the agency is proceeding without soliciting proposals from other entities. As a result, the "Eligible Applicants" field is effectively academic for outside organizations, since the notice explicitly states it is not open for applications and is intended for ATC.
The funding amount is fixed at an estimated total of $107,319, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $107,319, meaning NPS anticipated a single award in that exact amount. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted on July 11, 2015, with an original closing date of July 20, 2015, later reflected with a current closing date of September 4, 2015, and an archive date of September 5, 2015. These dates function more as administrative milestones for the public notice record on Grants.gov rather than an application window, since no applications were being solicited.
For anyone trying to review the full details, the announcement directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and to open the Full Announcement. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
