Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Rehabilitation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Connecticut and Massachusetts." The key point is that it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public posting that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a task agreement issued without full and open competition.
The planned recipient is Center for Peace through Culture, Inc./Greenagers, identified as a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (and not an institution of higher education). The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0055 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to remain substantially involved in the project during performance (as opposed to a simple pass-through grant). The program is tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," and the funding activity is described as a youth program, indicating that youth engagement and conservation work are central elements of the effort.
Financially, the notice indicates an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $25,000, meaning NPS anticipated one fixed award amount rather than a range. The posting also states that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) consistent with the terms of the agreement and applicable federal requirements.
The timeline reflects that this was a short administrative posting rather than a competitive grant cycle. It was posted on June 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2012, and an archive date of June 30, 2012. Because it is a notice of intent to award without competition, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for applicants to submit proposals.
For anyone seeking the official supporting documentation, the notice directs readers to the attachment available via the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. It also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, phone 215-597-6476.
