Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award titled "To Facilitate Youth Engagement in NPS Projects in the State of Maryland." The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an award made without full and open competition. In other words, the agency is signaling its intention to make a direct award rather than inviting multiple organizations to apply and compete.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and will be administered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during implementation (for example, coordinating work, providing guidance, or collaborating closely on project delivery) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," indicating the work does not fall neatly into a standard category and that additional clarification would normally be provided in the official related documents referenced in the posting.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931 and is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0100. It was created on July 11, 2016, and carried an original closing date of July 21, 2016, which in the context of a notice like this is generally more about posting and documentation timing than a true application deadline. The announcement indicates an expected total award amount capped at $45,000 (award ceiling), with the NPS anticipating making one award.
Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others," with the expectation that the specifics would be defined in the supplemental eligibility text or the official attachment materials linked under "Related Documents." The overall purpose, as reflected in the title, is to support activities that facilitate youth engagement in National Park Service projects within Maryland. For full project scope, the named recipient (if specified), and the detailed justification for the non-competitive approach, the posting directs readers to the associated documents on Grants.gov.
