Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a place-based education partnership connected to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont. It is not a competitive funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency posting that NPS plans to move forward with a specific award without full and open competition, meaning outside organizations are not being invited to apply through this announcement.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0124 and falls under a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, such as collaborating on planning, delivering educational programming, coordinating park-based activities, or jointly managing project outcomes, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity category is labeled as "Other," with the explanation emphasizing that this is strictly a notice of intent to award.
Funding is fixed at an estimated total of $55,810, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $55,810, which signals NPS is anticipating one award at a specific amount rather than a range. The expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal match as a condition of the award. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) listing associated with the program is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which broadly aligns with education and public engagement work tied to NPS sites and mission goals.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the notice identifies a single-source recipient: Woodstock Union High School. The posting explicitly states that NPS intends to fund the described project activities as a single-source award to that school, reinforcing that other entities are not eligible to compete for this particular award through this announcement.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted on August 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2015, and an archive date of August 23, 2015. In notices like this, the closing date generally reflects the end of the public notice window rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being solicited.
For anyone trying to locate the underlying details about the planned project activities, the notice directs readers to Grants.gov and specifically to the "Related Documents" section and then the "Full Announcement" for complete information. If the full announcement cannot be accessed electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
