Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for the Living Classrooms Partnership Project (Modification 1). It is not an open grant competition and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public announcement that NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive award. In practical terms, that means NPS has already identified the recipient and is documenting its intent to continue supporting an existing partnership or project without going through full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0114 and is categorized as a discretionary funding action. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds (for example, collaborating on planning, coordination, oversight, or implementation). The associated CFDA program is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which signals that the work aligns with NPS goals around conservation-related education and public outreach.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed. NPS expects to make one award, with total estimated funding of $32,500. The award ceiling and floor are both $32,500, indicating the amount is set rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the announcement is not a request for applications. While the listing includes "Others" as an eligible applicant category, the eligibility narrative clarifies that this is a continuation of an ongoing project and is being awarded without full and open competition. In other words, it is intended to extend or modify an existing funded effort rather than start a new competitive cycle.
The posting date and creation date are both August 8, 2014. The original and current closing dates are August 13, 2014, with an archive date of August 14, 2014. Those dates function more as an administrative public-notice window rather than a real application period, since applications are not being solicited.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email address referenced in the notice.
