Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" connected to the Chesapeake Conservation Corps under the broader Chesapeake Bay Program. The key point is that it is not an open funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal public notice that NPS plans to make a single, specific award without full and open competition, using an existing cooperative agreement mechanism.
The planned award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement (not a standard competitive grant), and it will be issued as Task Agreement P14AC00957 under an already-established Cooperative Agreement (P12AC30543). The named recipient is the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDDNR), identified as a state government entity. Because it is a single-source action, other organizations are not being invited to apply; the posting exists mainly to satisfy transparency and public-notice requirements rather than to solicit proposals.
Funding totals are fixed and relatively small: the estimated total funding is $55,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $55,000, meaning the award amount is predetermined rather than variable. The notice indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the project is expected to include non-federal contributions alongside the federal funding, although the specific match ratio and allowable sources would typically be detailed in the attachment referenced in the full announcement.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, titled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the project activities are intended to support conservation work delivered through youth-focused service programming. While the brief summary provided in the notice does not list the detailed work plan, the title and CFDA alignment imply activities consistent with Chesapeake Bay stewardship and conservation service efforts carried out through the Chesapeake Conservation Corps framework.
Administratively, the announcement was posted on June 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2014, and an archive date of June 23, 2014. Those dates function more as a posting window for the notice rather than an application deadline, since no applications are being accepted. The funding opportunity number is NPS 14 NERO 0049, and it is categorized as discretionary funding with the activity category listed as "Other," clarified explicitly as a notice of intent to award without competition.
For anyone trying to locate the finer details (such as the exact scope of work, deliverables, period of performance, match requirements, or reporting expectations), the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. If there are access issues with the electronic announcement, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
