Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, specific award for an education-focused project connected to Governors Island National Monument in New York, NY. It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior and functions as a public transparency notice rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In plain terms, the NPS is announcing that it plans to fund a defined set of project activities and is not inviting the public to submit applications.
The opportunity is titled "Notice of Intent to Award Re-imagining Civic Education through an NPNH Institute" and is associated with Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0120. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating deliverables, shaping program direction, or collaborating on implementation. The activity category is Education, and the CFDA listing referenced is 15.946, Cultural Resources Management.
A key point is that this is explicitly "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS." The NPS states it intends to fund the work without "full and open competition" through a task agreement with a named organization: Lower Eastside Tenement Museum, Inc. (LOEA). While the posting lists eligible applicants generally as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), that eligibility language is effectively informational here because the agency is not conducting an open competition; it is notifying the public of a planned sole-source or limited-competition award arrangement tied to the specified partner and activities.
The funding amount is fixed. The estimated total funding is $43,984, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $43,984, indicating the agency anticipated one award at that exact amount. No cost sharing or matching is required. The notice anticipated one award total.
Timeline-wise, the notice was posted August 9, 2012, with a closing date of August 15, 2012, and an archive date of August 16, 2012. In the context of a notice of intent, these dates generally reflect the public notice window and administrative posting period rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted.
For anyone trying to access the full details, the announcement directs readers to an attachment under the "Full Announcement" link (as it would have appeared on Grants.gov). For administrative questions, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476, particularly for difficulty accessing the announcement electronically.
