Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior grant action titled "Notice of Intent to Award Maine Acadian Culture Project Employ Geographically Isolated Acadian Youth at MAAC Sites" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0132). The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notification that NPS intends to make a cooperative agreement award without full and open competition, meaning the agency is proceeding with a single-source award rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
The planned award is directed specifically to the Maine Acadian Heritage Council, identified in the notice as a nonprofit entity. Because the recipient is predetermined, other organizations are not being invited to apply, and the eligibility language is essentially a confirmation of the single-source approach. The activity is associated with CFDA number 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other" with an explanation that this posting is a notice of intent to award rather than an application opportunity.
Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with total estimated funding of $37,300. The award floor and ceiling are both $37,300, which signals that the intended award amount is fixed. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work (such as coordination, oversight, or collaborative implementation) rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the terms) as part of the overall project cost.
In terms of purpose, the project centers on Maine Acadian culture and specifically emphasizes employing geographically isolated Acadian youth at MAAC sites. While the posted summary does not provide operational details of the work plan, the title and program context indicate a cultural resources effort that combines heritage-related activities at Maine Acadian sites with workforce or youth employment components aimed at supporting Acadian youth in rural or isolated areas.
Administratively, the notice was posted on August 18, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 27, 2015, and an archive date of August 28, 2015. In notices like this, the "closing date" is typically tied to the public posting period and documentation timeline rather than a deadline to submit applications, since no applications are being accepted. The announcement directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov for the full notice text, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
