Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating the agency's intent to make an award under an existing cooperative agreement, rather than opening a competitive grant round. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and emphasizes that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, the announcement functions as public transparency: NPS is informing the public that it plans to provide additional funding for specific project activities through a non-competitive modification to an already-established agreement.
The funding vehicle is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work (as opposed to a standard grant where the federal role is usually more hands-off). The action described is a modification to add funds to an existing cooperative agreement identified as P14AC00962. The intended recipient is the Society of the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights at St. Paul's Church, Eastchester, Inc., described as a nonprofit entity. The announcement states that this funding will be issued "without full and open competition," meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals from other organizations for this particular funding action.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0005 and is associated with CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. Only one award is anticipated. The total estimated funding amount is $230,000, and the award floor and ceiling are both $230,000, indicating a single, fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required financial match as a condition of the award.
Because this is not an open solicitation, standard "eligibility" language is mostly informational. The listing notes "Others" under eligible applicants, but the eligibility explanation clarifies that NPS intends to fund only the named organization for these activities. The posting date and creation date are both November 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of November 30, 2014, and an archive date of December 1, 2014. These dates matter primarily for recordkeeping and public notice rather than for applicant deadlines, since there is no application process being offered.
For anyone trying to understand the specifics of the work to be funded, the notice directs readers to the attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, where the complete details of the intended project activities would be provided. If someone cannot access the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
