Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), stating its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project focused on strengthening collaboration and engagement among conservation and stewardship practitioners. The project theme is centered on building partnerships and developing case studies that can be used to improve public outreach and engagement around conservation and stewardship work. In other words, the NPS is signaling that it plans to support activities that help practitioners work together more effectively and translate that work into clearer, more compelling engagement with the public, using partnership-driven examples and documented case studies as practical tools.
A key point is that this is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. The NPS is using the notice to meet transparency requirements by informing the public that it plans to fund the described activities without full and open competition. Anyone looking for an open call to apply should understand that this posting is informational rather than an invitation to submit proposals. The notice also directs readers to consult the Related Documents section on Grants.gov for the complete details of the intended award, which is where the formal justification, project specifics, and any partnering or recipient information would typically be provided.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into standard bins like research or construction and is instead described in the accompanying text. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number attached to the listing is 15.954, which corresponds to NPS-related assistance programs. The eligible applicant field is broad in the listing ("Others"), but because this is a notice of intent to award without competition, eligibility in the normal sense is less relevant than it would be under a competitive announcement.
In terms of scale and timing, the notice indicates an anticipated single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $50,000. The posting was created on September 11, 2016, with an original closing date of September 21, 2016. In this type of notice, the "closing date" typically reflects the window for public posting and documentation rather than a deadline for proposal submission, since proposals are not being requested through this announcement.
Overall, the listing communicates that NPS planned to direct up to $50,000 through one cooperative agreement to support partnership development and case study creation aimed at improving how conservation and stewardship practitioners collaborate and how their work is communicated to and engages the public, with additional specifics available in the associated documents on Grants.gov.
