Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, publicly announcing its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a specific project at Biscayne National Park. It is explicitly not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS plans to fund certain project activities without full and open competition under an existing cooperative agreement vehicle (Cooperative Agreement P15AC00044) with the Greater Miami Service Corps.
The project is titled "PLC Implement Trails, Buildings and Grounds Maintenance Mentoring Program" and is categorized under natural resources activities. The work described by the title centers on implementing and supporting maintenance and mentoring efforts related to trails, park buildings, and grounds at Biscayne National Park. The referenced CFDA number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals the programmatic focus on conservation-oriented work carried out with youth or service corps-style organizations and typically emphasizes hands-on stewardship, skill-building, and workforce development elements alongside park resource needs.
From a funding standpoint, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $58,800 and anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. While the listing includes "Eligible Applicants" as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the substance of the announcement makes clear that the intended recipient is the Greater Miami Service Corps under the specified cooperative agreement and that the announcement is informational rather than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
Key administrative details include the Grants.gov funding opportunity number P15AS00047 and the title matching the project name. The notice was posted on February 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 15, 2015, and an archive date of February 17, 2015.
