Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Facilitate Collaborative Learning Opportunities through UPDE Service Learning Partnership with the Center for Land Use and Sustainability." The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to make an award to support specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, this means the agency has already identified the intended recipient or partner and is publishing the notice to meet transparency requirements rather than inviting new proposals from the public.
The opportunity is being issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, collaborating on planning, coordinating activities, providing guidance, or jointly managing deliverables), rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back as might be more typical with a standard grant. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," which usually signals that the work does not fit neatly into common pre-set categories and that the details are explained in the full notice and supporting documents.
From the listing information, NPS anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $130,102. The opportunity references CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs. The posting indicates it was created on September 15, 2016, with an original closing date of September 24, 2016, which in this context functions more like an administrative timeline for posting and processing the notice rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement. That said, because this is a notice of intent to award without competition, the eligibility language is largely secondary for would-be applicants, since the notice is not inviting organizations to apply. Anyone looking for the detailed scope of work, the identity or type of the intended partner, the rationale for limiting competition, and the specific project activities is directed to the "Related Documents" attached to the posting. The notice also points users to Grants.gov support resources for general navigation and grants information, but again, it emphasizes that this particular posting is informational rather than an open funding opportunity.
