Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating its intent to make a single grant award for a project described as an "Assessment of Natural Resource Condition." The key point is that it is not a competitive funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public transparency notice that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities through an award made without full and open competition, meaning the agency is signaling an intended recipient or a pre-identified award pathway rather than inviting proposals from the general public.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0110, associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as assistance listing) 15.945. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," which usually means the work does not fit neatly into standard categories like education, environment, or health, and readers are directed to the announcement text for clarification. The project theme, based on the title, centers on evaluating the condition of natural resources, which in an NPS context often involves gathering data, assessing ecosystem health, documenting baseline conditions, and producing information that can guide resource management decisions within park units or a regional park network.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $44,811 and anticipates exactly one award. The posting shows a creation date of July 15, 2016, with an original closing date of July 24, 2016. With notices like this, the closing date typically reflects the period the notice is publicly displayed on Grants.gov rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being solicited. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the expectation that the detailed eligibility and the rationale for the noncompetitive approach would be explained in the attached or "Related Documents" section referenced in the announcement.
In practical terms, this notice is mainly relevant to the intended awardee, stakeholders tracking NPS funding actions, or organizations trying to understand how and why the agency is making a directed award. Anyone looking for an open grant competition should treat this as informational only and consult the related documents for the specifics of the project activities, the justification for limiting competition, and any partner or recipient details that the NPS includes in the full notice.
