Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, Notice of Intent to Award for a project connected to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. The project is titled "Developing Public Narratives and Leadership Around Complex Histories: An Evaluation of the 21st Century Parks Leadership Community - Phase 1." The key point is that this notice is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to fund specific project activities without using full and open competition, meaning the agency already intends to make the award to a particular recipient rather than solicit proposals from the general public.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, such as collaborating on planning, coordination, or oversight, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and falls under an "Other" activity category, implying the work does not fit neatly into common program categories and is better explained in the full announcement materials referenced on Grants.gov. The associated CFDA number is 15.954, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs.
In terms of scale and timing, the notice lists an award ceiling of $30,000 and anticipates making a single award. The posting and creation dates are November 3, 2015, with a closing date of November 12, 2015. Even though a closing date is included, it should not be interpreted like a normal deadline for submitting proposals, since the notice explicitly says it is not soliciting applications. Instead, the date functions more like an administrative endpoint for the public notice period on the Grants.gov listing.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the expectation that the full announcement would clarify exactly what type of organization the intended recipient is and why a non-competitive process is being used. The notice instructs readers to consult the "Related Documents" section and the full announcement for complete details, and it points to general Grants.gov help resources for navigation and grants information. Overall, this listing is best understood as a transparency notice: NPS is communicating its intent to fund Phase 1 of an evaluation effort focused on strengthening public narratives and leadership approaches for interpreting complex histories within the context of the 21st Century Parks Leadership Community.
