Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) grant action tied to Hurricane Sandy recovery work, specifically the "RIIS Beach, Bay 9 Restoration Project - Hurricane Sandy Youth Project." It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0153. The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is published mainly for transparency and public record and is not a competitive solicitation. In other words, the agency is not asking the public to apply and is not opening a competition for new proposals through Grants.gov.
The NPS states that it intends to fund project activities without full and open competition by issuing Task Agreement P14AC00471 under an existing, previously and competitively awarded National Cooperative Agreement (H2495090024) with Groundwork USA. Groundwork USA is identified as the intended recipient and is characterized in the notice as a nonprofit entity operating under that already-established national agreement. Because the task agreement is being issued under an existing cooperative framework, the opportunity functions more like a formal announcement of an impending award rather than an application-based grant program.
The award is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as the Assistance Listing) number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." That listing aligns with youth-focused conservation and stewardship work, which fits the "Youth Project" framing in the title and suggests the funded effort likely involves engaging young people in restoration-related activities as part of Sandy recovery. The notice categorizes the instrument as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during the project (as opposed to a standard grant where agency involvement is typically more limited). The funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified in the notice as a Hurricane Sandy-funded project.
Financially, the posting indicates a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $99,767. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $99,767, which effectively signals a fixed intended amount for this particular action rather than a range. The notice also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute a portion of project costs or provide matching resources, consistent with the terms that can apply under cooperative agreements and certain program authorities.
Timing details in the posting show a posted date of September 16, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 21, 2014, and an archive date of September 22, 2014. In the context of a notice of intent (not an open application), these dates function more as an administrative window for posting and recordkeeping than as an application deadline, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is intended only to provide public notice of the planned award to Groundwork USA.
For anyone needing the official, complete write-up, the notice points readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on the posting. It also provides a direct contact for access issues or administrative questions: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at (215) 597-6476. The notice separately references Grants.gov help resources for general navigation, but it reiterates that the public should not treat this as an open funding opportunity to apply for.
