Opportunity Summary:

The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Northeast Youth Program Management Assistance" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0010) is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly document an intended award. The key point is that this notice is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it signals that the NPS plans to fund certain project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the agency does not intend to seek proposals from the broader public under full and open competition. In practical terms, organizations should not interpret this posting as an open grant opportunity; it is primarily a transparency notice explaining that an award will be made outside of a competitive application cycle.

The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with further clarification referenced in the full announcement materials. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance programs. While the posting does not lay out a full public scope of work in the text provided, the title indicates the funded work centers on program management assistance for youth programming in the NPS Northeast Region, likely supporting the administration, coordination, or operational oversight of youth initiatives connected to park units in that region.

The notice lists an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $54,450, which suggests a relatively small, targeted assistance effort rather than a large multi-recipient program. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details deferred to the full announcement, reinforcing that this is not an open competition and may be directed to a specific partner or a narrowly defined type of organization that meets agency requirements. The notice was created and posted on January 6, 2016, with a closing date of January 15, 2016, which in the context of a notice of intent typically functions more as an administrative timeline for publication rather than a deadline for submitting applications.

Anyone looking for complete specifics, including the rationale for the non-competitive approach, the intended recipient, the anticipated tasks or deliverables, and any period-of-performance details, would need to review the "Related Documents" section referenced in the posting and open the full announcement file. The notice also points users to Grants.gov navigation and general grant guidance resources, but those instructions are standard boilerplate and do not change the central message: NPS is announcing its intention to make a cooperative agreement award for Northeast youth program management assistance without soliciting applications from the public.
