Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a "Notice of Intent to Award" for a cooperative agreement connected to the Chesapeake Gateways and Trails network. The key point of this announcement is that it is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award process, meaning the agency does not intend to run a full and open competition for these funds. The purpose described is to carry out a work plan involving mutually agreed-upon projects, programs, and activities that support and benefit Chesapeake Gateways and Trails.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action, with the funding instrument identified as a cooperative agreement. In practical terms, a cooperative agreement typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on planning, coordinating implementation, providing technical input, or jointly managing deliverables, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is labeled as "Other," with further clarification referenced in the full announcement, which suggests the work may not fit neatly into standard categories like research, construction, or education alone and could involve a mix of program support, coordination, interpretation, outreach, or partnership-based activities tailored to the Chesapeake Gateways and Trails effort.
The funding opportunity number is NPS 16 NERO 0001, and it is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.935, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs. The announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $56,859. The posting and creation dates are both October 28, 2015, and the listed closing date is November 6, 2015. Although a closing date is shown, in a notice of intent context it generally functions more as an administrative marker in the grants system rather than a deadline for competitive submissions, since the notice explicitly states it is not open for applications.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details deferred to the full announcement text. That wording commonly indicates the intended recipient may be a specific partner organization or a limited set of entity types relevant to the program (for example, a nonprofit partner, educational institution, or other public/nonpublic organization), but the announcement as provided does not identify the recipient by name. Anyone seeking the complete rationale for the non-competitive approach, the exact scope of work, or the intended awardee is directed to the full announcement and related documents on Grants.gov. The notice also points users to Grants.gov help resources for navigation and general grant information, reinforcing that the posting is mainly about transparency and public record of the planned award rather than inviting proposals.
