Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for the "Maine Acadian Culture Project" connected to Acadia National Park, Maine. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to move forward with a single, non-competitive (sole-source) cooperative agreement to support specific cultural preservation and interpretation work focused on Acadian heritage in Maine.
The planned award is tied to Task Agreement P13AC00194 and names the Maine Acadian Heritage Council as the intended recipient. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0024. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The funding activity is categorized broadly as "Other," with the clarification that the purpose is the preservation and interpretation of Acadian culture in Maine.
Financially, the notice anticipates one award with a total federal funding amount of $78,170, and both the award ceiling and floor are set at $78,170, meaning the amount is fixed rather than a range. The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) as part of the project budget, though the specific match terms would be detailed in the full announcement attachment.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the notice makes clear this is a sole-source action to a specific nonprofit organization rather than an open opportunity. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, aligning the project with federal support for conserving and interpreting cultural resources.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on April 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 18, 2013, and an archive date of April 19, 2013. In this context, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted.
For those needing additional details beyond the summary text, the notice indicates that complete information is available in an attachment linked under the full announcement on Grants.gov. If access issues arise, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
