Opportunity Summary:
This grant posting is a Notice of Intent to Award from the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Its purpose is simply to give the public formal notice that the NPS plans to provide additional funding through a noncompetitive action by modifying an existing cooperative agreement rather than opening a new competition on Grants.gov.
The opportunity is titled "Notice of Intent to Award New England National Scenic Trail Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0066) and falls under a discretionary funding category using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The associated CFDA (now often referred to as "Assistance Listing") number is 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance, which generally supports community and partner-driven conservation, recreation, and trail-related planning and implementation activities. In this case, the NPS is indicating it will support implementation activities connected to the New England National Scenic Trail.
Only one award is expected, and the posting makes clear that the recipient is predetermined: it is a single-source award to a nonprofit organization, specifically the Connecticut Forest and Park Association (CFPA). The funding action is described as a modification to add funds to an already existing cooperative agreement (H4506100508 / P10AC00314). Because it is a continuation or augmentation of an existing agreement, the normal competitive application process is not being used, which is why the notice repeatedly emphasizes that it is not seeking proposals.
The financial details are fixed and fully specified: the estimated total funding is $91,912, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $91,912. That structure signals a single, set award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a defined non-federal share as a condition of receiving these federal funds.
Key dates show this was a short administrative notice window rather than an application period. The notice was posted July 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 8, 2013, and it was archived July 9, 2013. Those dates align with the idea that the posting is meant for transparency and recordkeeping rather than to allow time for applicants to prepare submissions.
For anyone trying to locate additional specifics about the exact activities to be funded, the notice points to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on the listing. The designated contact for issues accessing the full announcement is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
