Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award: National Shrine of the Bill of Rights (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0008) is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly disclose that NPS plans to fund a specific project related to the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights. The key point of the notice is that it is not a request for applications and not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a transparency step letting the public know the agency intends to make an award without full and open competitive procedures.
The planned funding would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, coordination, oversight, or technical guidance as the work is carried out. The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and falls under the CFDA program number 15.954, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance. While the listing shows eligibility as "Others" (with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement), the structure and wording make clear that this is intended for a specific recipient or a narrow set of entities rather than the general public or a broad field of applicants.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $230,000 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posting and creation dates are December 18, 2015, with a closing date of December 27, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent rather than a solicitation, the closing date functions more as an administrative timeline marker for the listing on Grants.gov, not a deadline for submitting competing applications.
Anyone looking for project-specific details (such as the exact activities to be funded, the intended recipient, the justification for limiting competition, or the period of performance) is directed to the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and to open the full announcement. The notice also points users to Grants.gov support resources for navigation help, but it does not invite proposals because the award is intended to proceed without a standard competitive application process.
