Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) grant action under the U.S. Department of the Interior titled "Notice of Intent to Award Paterson Great Falls NHP Youth Conservation Corps" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0038). It is important to understand that this posting is not an open grant competition and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it is a formal public notice that NPS intends to provide additional funding through a non-competitive action, specifically by modifying an existing cooperative agreement to add funds.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which usually means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordinating activities, providing technical direction, or collaborating on program delivery. The notice states that the action is a modification to an existing cooperative agreement (P09AC00195) with the New Jersey Community Development Corps. The award is described as a single-source selection, meaning NPS is proceeding without full and open competition and has already identified the recipient organization.
The intended recipient is New Jersey Community Development Corps, identified as a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status. Because the notice is only meant to announce NPS's intent to fund this organization, the standard "eligible applicants" concept does not function the way it would in a typical competitive opportunity. The eligibility language is included largely for transparency and documentation, clarifying that this is a single-source award rather than a solicitation where multiple applicants could apply.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $54,000, with an award floor and award ceiling both set at $54,000, which signals that the expected modification amount is fixed at that level. Only one award is expected. The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or approved in-kind contributions) toward meeting the total project cost, consistent with the requirements of the specific agreement and program rules.
In terms of program purpose, the notice is tied to CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." While the short public summary does not detail specific tasks, the title indicates the project centers on a Youth Conservation Corps effort connected to Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park (NHP). In practice, projects under this CFDA commonly support youth-focused conservation and stewardship work, which can include hands-on resource conservation, maintenance and preservation activities, environmental education components, job readiness training, and structured service opportunities that support park or community conservation goals.
The timing information reflects the administrative lifecycle of the notice rather than an application window. It was posted on June 5, 2014, with a closing date of June 10, 2014, and an archive date of June 11, 2014. These dates do not function as a deadline for submitting proposals, since no applications are being accepted; they mainly indicate how long the notice remained active on the grants portal as a public posting.
For anyone seeking the official documentation, the notice directs readers to view the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for complete details. The point of contact listed for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
