Opportunity Summary:
This funding notice is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant announcement labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning the agency is signaling in advance that it plans to make an award without a broad competitive process. The opportunity is tied to an existing cooperative agreement and would be implemented through a task agreement specifically with the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail (NHT) Association. In practical terms, it is not an open call for new applicants; it is a planned continuation or add-on piece of work under a relationship the NPS already has in place with this partner organization.
The purpose of the intended award is to support protection and stewardship of the historic integrity of the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail, while also strengthening the trail's role in tourism and economic development along the route. The notice also emphasizes public education, aiming to help communities and visitors better understand the trail's resources, significance, and opportunities. In other words, the work is framed around three connected goals: preserving the trail's historical character, leveraging that heritage to support local and regional economic benefits through tourism, and expanding outreach so the public can identify, appreciate, and responsibly engage with the trail and its associated sites.
The planned funding amount listed for this action is an estimated total of $89,005, with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the recipient would not be required to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award based on the information provided. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the supported activities, such as collaboration on planning, coordination, review of deliverables, or joint implementation. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects, and the activity category is listed under Natural Resources, reflecting the stewardship and conservation-oriented aspects of national historic trail work even when the focus is cultural and historical.
Key timing details show the notice was posted and created on June 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 19, 2014, and an archive date of June 20, 2014. Because this is a Notice of Intent to award to a specific organization, the closing date functions more as an administrative window for the announcement rather than a typical deadline for competitive applications. The eligibility field reinforces this by stating that the award is intended as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement to the El Camino Real de los Tejas NHT Association.
