Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement issued as a "Notice of Intent to Award" under the Natural Resources activity area. Rather than being a typical open, competitive grant solicitation, it signals the NPS plan to make a single award by issuing a task agreement under an already existing cooperative agreement. The intended recipient is the Trail of Tears Association, and the purpose is tightly focused on supporting the protection and preservation of resources tied to the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail (NHT), increasing public awareness of the trail's legacy, and helping carry forward the management and development practices outlined in the NPS trail plan.
The planned funding amount listed for the effort is an estimated total of $180,500, with one expected award. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. Because this is a notice tied to an existing cooperative agreement and a specific partner organization, the eligibility field essentially points back to that intent: it is not broadly open to the general public, and the "Eligible Applicants" category is labeled as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility narrative that the award is intended for the Trail of Tears Association through the existing agreement mechanism.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number NPSNOINTIR1400881 and the CFDA program reference 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The announcement was posted and created on June 13, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 23, 2014, and an archive date of June 24, 2014. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that the funding amount is addressed through the task agreement structure and the estimated total funding figure, rather than a standard minimum/maximum range for multiple competing awards.
For assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. Overall, the notice is best understood as an administrative step documenting the NPS intent to fund a specific partner to carry out trail-related preservation and public engagement work in support of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail and the NPS management plan for the route.
