Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project focused on facilitating youth engagement in NPS projects in the state of Virginia. It is not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS plans to make a single award without full and open competition under an existing cooperative agreement structure. The specific action referenced is Task Agreement P15AC00449 under Cooperative Agreement P12AC30770, meaning the work is being issued as a task agreement tied to a broader, pre-existing cooperative partnership rather than as a new open solicitation.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0027 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient has more independent control over implementation. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the central purpose is conservation-related work carried out through youth-focused service efforts.
Only one award is expected, and the total estimated funding is set at $45,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $45,000, which effectively means the anticipated award amount is fixed at that level. The announcement also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project cost, though the specific match percentage or amount is not provided in the summary text.
Eligibility in practice is restricted because this is a single-source, non-competitive action. While the listing includes "State governments" as eligible applicants, the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, identified as the sole entity receiving this award. In other words, even though a broad eligibility category is displayed in the opportunity record, the decision to fund has already been directed to a specific state government partner, and other entities are not being invited to apply.
The posting date is April 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 18, 2015, and an archive date of April 19, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent to award, these dates function more like an administrative public-notice window rather than an application deadline, since no applications are being solicited. The announcement instructs interested parties to view the complete details through the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region (NER) Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this listing is a transparency notice documenting NPS's plan to provide $45,000 through a cooperative agreement mechanism to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation to support youth engagement in NPS-related conservation or service projects in Virginia, with required cost sharing and no open competition.
