Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service's intent to make a single, specific award for a project called "Lowell Emerging Leaders and Community Outreach." It is a public transparency announcement rather than an open grant competition, meaning it is not inviting proposals from the general public and it is not a request for applications. Instead, NPS is signaling that it plans to move forward with a new cooperative agreement without full and open competition.
The planned award is associated with the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and falls under the discretionary funding category using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The activity focus is listed as Community Development, and the CFDA program number is 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, which typically connects to projects that strengthen stewardship, interpretation, preservation, or community engagement around cultural resources and related public programming. The opportunity title indicates an emphasis on developing emerging leaders and carrying out community outreach in Lowell, suggesting the work is intended to build local leadership capacity and deepen community connection to the park and its cultural resources.
NPS indicates it expects to make one award totaling $40,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $40,000, so the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient is not expected to provide a defined non-federal match as a condition of the award. The eligible applicant type shown is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (other than an institution of higher education), and the notice specifically identifies the intended recipient as Lowell Plan, Inc., reflecting that NPS has already selected the partner organization for this cooperative agreement.
The posting date is August 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2012, and an archive date of August 16, 2012. In this context, those dates function more like an administrative window for the public notice on Grants.gov rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the notice is explicitly not soliciting applications. For full details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. Anyone who cannot access the materials electronically is instructed to contact Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, by phone at 215-597-6476.
