Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00313) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action issued as a Notice of Intent to Award to the Student Conservation Association. It is set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The purpose described is to support interns for a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) Maintenance mentoring program, with an intended award amount of $60,125.17 (rounded in the listing to an estimated total funding and award ceiling of $60,126). Only one award is expected.
A key point is that this is not an open, competitive solicitation. The notice explicitly states that no proposals will be accepted, which indicates the National Park Service had already identified the Student Conservation Association as the intended recipient and published the notice primarily for transparency and documentation on Grants.gov rather than to invite applications. Although the general eligible applicant categories shown include certain 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education) and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, the practical reality here is that the award is intended for the named organization and the posting is not seeking alternative applicants.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, and the listed activity categories span humanities (noted as cultural affairs), natural resources, and science and technology/research and development. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The posting timeline is very short: it was posted and created on August 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2014, and it was archived on September 29, 2014. This short window is consistent with a notice of intent posting rather than a typical competitive grant cycle.
