Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award for the Living Classrooms Partnership Program is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior posting meant strictly as a public notice, not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, it is not inviting applications from the public and it does not represent an open funding competition. Instead, it announces the NPS intention to move forward with a single, specific award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded activities rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0119 and is categorized as a discretionary funding action using the Cooperative Agreement instrument. The activity is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, which generally supports community-based conservation, recreation, and outdoor engagement efforts through technical and partnership-driven work. The posting states that the NPS plans to fund project activities through a new cooperative agreement (P13AC01114) with the Urban Blazers Foundation (UB) without full and open competition, indicating a sole-source approach rather than multiple awards.
Funding details in the notice show an estimated total of $32,500, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $32,500, signaling that the anticipated action is a single award at that exact amount. The notice lists an expected number of awards as 1 and specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is not broadly open; it is described as a single-source award to a nonprofit entity, which aligns with the stated intention to make the award specifically to Urban Blazers Foundation.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2013, and an archive date of August 21, 2013. Because this is not a request for applications, the closing date functions more as an administrative window for posting and any applicable public notice period rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals. The notice also points readers to an attachment available via the "Full Announcement" link for complete details, implying that the substantive project description, scope, and rationale for the noncompetitive award are contained in that attached document rather than in the brief synopsis shown in the listing.
For access issues or questions related to obtaining the full announcement materials, the listing provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region (NER) Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also references Grants.gov help resources for general navigation, but it makes clear that this particular posting is informational and tied to an intended sole-source cooperative agreement rather than an open call for proposals.
