Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a public Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Support Kennedy NHS Education." The listing makes clear that it is not a request for applications and is not inviting competitive proposals. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that NPS plans to fund specific education-related project activities connected to Kennedy National Historic Site (Kennedy NHS) through a direct, non-competitive award. Anyone looking for the full rationale, project scope, and recipient details is directed to open the full announcement via the "Related Documents" link on the Grants.gov posting.

This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on planning, content, implementation, or oversight of the education activities. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," which signals that the work does not fit neatly into a standard Grants.gov activity label and that the specifics would be clarified in the full announcement text.

The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0019 and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.931. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the implication that the intended recipient type and any eligibility nuances are explained in the full announcement. Because this is a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation, the eligibility field is informational and does not function as an invitation for outside organizations to apply.

Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $46,708 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posting and creation dates are both February 12, 2016, and the listed closing date is February 22, 2016. In the context of a non-competitive notice, the closing date generally reflects the end of the public notice period or an administrative timeline rather than an application deadline, since applications are not being accepted under this announcement.

Overall, the key takeaway is that NPS is publicly documenting its intention to fund a specific Kennedy NHS education project through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition, and the substantive details such as project deliverables, partner organization, and justification for the non-competitive approach are contained in the attached full announcement materials on Grants.gov.
