Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project connected to the Lower East Side Tenement National Historic Site in New York. The key point of this posting is that it is strictly a public notice and not an open call for proposals. In other words, the NPS is not soliciting applications through this announcement and does not intend to run a competitive process for selecting a recipient. Instead, the notice serves to inform the public that the agency plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, such as collaborating on planning, technical input, or oversight during implementation. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with the implication that further clarification about the exact nature of the work would be found in the full announcement materials referenced in the posting (the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov). The program is associated with CFDA number 15.954, which is how federal assistance programs are cataloged for tracking and reporting purposes.
Administratively, the posting identifies the opportunity number as NPS 16 NERO 0003. It was created and posted on December 4, 2015, with a closing date of December 13, 2015. Even though a closing date is shown, that date functions more like an administrative milestone for the notice rather than a deadline for applications, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
The notice indicates the NPS expected to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $249,000. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note that additional eligibility detail would be provided elsewhere in the full documentation. Overall, the posting is best understood as a transparency step required when an agency intends to make an award without full and open competition, pointing interested parties to the full announcement package for the rationale, the partner/recipient details (if disclosed), and the specific project activities to be supported at the Lower East Side Tenement National Historic Site.
