Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement titled "Notice of Intent to Award Thomas Cole Historic House, Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill, NY" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0016). It is not a request for applications and it is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public transparency posting that the NPS intends to provide funding to a specific partner organization through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism, without full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The announcement explains that the action is a modification to an existing task agreement (Task Agreement P14AC00037) under an already established cooperative agreement (P10AC00311, formerly H1788100001). In practical terms, that means the NPS already has an ongoing formal partnership arrangement in place with the recipient, and this notice is documenting an update or added funding/work to that continuing agreement rather than starting a brand-new open application process.
The funding is a single-source award to the Thomas Cole Historic House, identified as a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status. Only one award is expected, and the opportunity is not open to other applicants. The notice also ties eligibility and the partnership authority to Public Law 106-146, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site Act. That law authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into cooperative agreements with entities such as the Greene County Historical Society, the State of New York, the Thomas Cole Foundation, and other public and private partners to preserve the site and support educational programs, research, interpretation, and public understanding and enjoyment of the lives and works of Hudson River School artists. The announcement provides background that the Thomas Cole Historic House entity originated under the Greene County Historical Society, later separated, obtained its own 501(c)(3) status, and received legal ownership of the site in 2010.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $158,000, and it sets the award floor and ceiling at the same value ($158,000), indicating the funding amount is fixed rather than a range. The announcement also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of project costs or resources consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement, although the notice itself does not detail the match percentage or what forms of match are acceptable (those specifics would typically appear in the attached full announcement or in the underlying agreement documents).
In terms of timing and recordkeeping, the notice was posted and created on May 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2014, and it was archived on May 8, 2014. Because this is not an application-based opportunity, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice window rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.
For anyone trying to review the complete details, the notice directs readers to the attachment accessible via the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
