Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement that serves only as a public notification of an intended award, not as a competitive funding opportunity. It is explicitly labeled a "Notice of Intent to Award" and states that it is not a request for applications. In other words, outside organizations are not being invited to apply, and there is no open competition associated with this posting. The purpose of publishing it on Grants.gov is transparency: it informs the public that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a pre-identified recipient and agreement vehicle.
The project itself is titled "Marsh Billings Rockefeller NHP Engaging Urban Communities: Applying Developmental Evaluation to Examine Engagement and Collaboration between the Public Sector and Urban Communities, Phase One." The title indicates the work focuses on Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (NHP) and emphasizes engagement with urban communities. It also highlights the use of developmental evaluation, an evaluation approach typically used to support learning and adaptation in complex, evolving initiatives. The intent appears to be examining how engagement and collaboration are occurring between public sector partners (such as NPS and related entities) and urban communities, with this announcement covering "Phase One" of that effort.
The announcement specifies that the award will be made without full and open competition as a single-source action. The named recipient is the University of Vermont, identified as a public and state-controlled institution of higher learning. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, and the work is identified as Task Agreement P15AC00195 issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement P12AC31053. A cooperative agreement generally implies that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, which fits an evaluation and collaboration-focused effort where federal participation, coordination, or technical input may be important.
Funding details are fixed and straightforward in this notice. The estimated total funding is $46,450, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $46,450, signaling the anticipated award amount is exact rather than a range. The CFDA program listing referenced is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award (based on the fields provided in the posting).
Key dates reflect that this is an informational posting rather than a typical application window. The posted date and creation date are February 5, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 14, 2015, and an archive date of February 15, 2015. These dates function more like the period the notice is displayed rather than a deadline for submission, since applications are not being accepted.
For anyone seeking additional details beyond the summary fields, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link in Grants.gov. If there are issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
