Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Park Steward Youth Training" at Christiansted National Historic Site. This announcement functions as a public notice that the NPS plans to move forward with funding a specific set of activities through a cooperative agreement, but it is not a request for applications and not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, the agency is not inviting new proposals; it is notifying the public that it intends to support a particular partner for this work without full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, such as providing technical guidance, coordinating activities, or participating in implementation alongside the recipient. The opportunity falls under the education activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," signaling a focus on youth engagement tied to conservation, stewardship, and hands-on learning within a park or historic site setting. The announcement indicates the NPS intends to establish a Master Cooperative Agreement with the organization Inner Changes specifically to carry out the Park Steward Youth Training project at Christiansted National Historic Site.
From a funding standpoint, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $15,000 and anticipates a single award. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. While the listing includes standard fields like award ceiling and award floor, both are shown as $0, which is common in certain notices and does not override the stated estimated total funding amount. The eligible applicant type is described as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), though in this case eligibility details are largely informational because the notice is tied to an intended non-competitive award to a named partner rather than an open application process.
The opportunity was posted on May 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2015, and an archive date of June 8, 2015. The repeated emphasis throughout the notice is that this posting exists to meet public notice requirements for an intended award without full and open competition, rather than to solicit applications. For those needing access to the full announcement or encountering issues retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact is Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance Officer, at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov. The listing also references Grants.gov as the source for the full announcement details.
