Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award titled "Cultural and Natural Resources Management at the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites." This notice is strictly a public notification that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement, and it is not an open call for proposals. In other words, the agency is not inviting applications or competing proposals; it is signaling that it intends to make an award without full and open competition, and the announcement exists primarily for transparency and documentation purposes.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0028 and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.946. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating activities, providing technical direction, or participating in project oversight. The program area is categorized broadly as "Other," with the clarification referenced in the full announcement materials, and the project focus is cultural and natural resource management work at the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites.
Eligibility is narrowly defined in the listing as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." Even though an eligibility category is stated, the key practical point is that this notice is not soliciting applicants; it is describing an intended award pathway that will proceed without competitive applications. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that the action is aimed at a single recipient rather than a pool of competing grantees. The announcement also lists an award ceiling of $0, which generally suggests that the public-facing entry does not specify the funding amount in the summarized fields, and interested parties would need to consult the attached full announcement documentation for any detailed budget or funding information that may exist.
The timeline reflects that the notice was created and posted on March 21, 2016, with both the original and current closing date shown as March 30, 2016. Because this is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative endpoint for the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submission. The NPS directs readers who want full details to open the "Related Documents" section in Grants.gov and view the full announcement, and it also points users to Grants.gov support resources for navigation or general grant-application guidance, even though no application is being requested under this notice.
Overall, the listing communicates that NPS intends to move forward with a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement to support cultural and natural resource management activities at the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites, and it provides basic administrative identifiers (agency, opportunity number, CFDA number, dates, and eligibility classification) while deferring substantive project specifics to the full announcement document.
