Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Lowell Emerging Leaders, Community Engagement and the Arts" is a discretionary funding announcement from the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is published as a public notice of the NPS intent to make an award, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, this posting is not inviting the public to compete for funding; it is informing the public that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive process.
The funding instrument for this action is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project activities alongside the recipient, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity is listed under an "Other" category, with the explanation clarifying that the announcement exists solely to communicate the intent to award without full and open competition. The underlying program area is tied to CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, signaling that the work aligns with NPS priorities around stewardship, interpretation, preservation, and related cultural and community-focused resource management objectives.
This is a single-source award intended for one identified recipient: Lowell Plan, Inc., a nonprofit entity. Because it is single-source and non-competitive, the eligible applicant pool is not open; the listing uses "Others" for eligibility and then clarifies that the notice is specifically for the planned award to Lowell Plan, Inc. The announcement indicates there is expected to be one award in total.
The total estimated funding amount is $65,600, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $65,600, which effectively communicates a fixed award amount rather than a range. The opportunity also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the overall project cost, consistent with the terms that would be detailed in the full announcement documents.
Key timing details show the notice was posted and created on July 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 16, 2015. These dates function more as an administrative posting window for the public notice than as a deadline for submitting proposals, since applications are not being solicited.
For those seeking the complete specifics of the intended project activities and award rationale, the notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and to open the full announcement. It also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
