Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD YOUTH CORPS" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00150) is a public notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), in connection with work to be carried out at Puerto Rico National Park. This announcement is not a solicitation and it is not asking for applications. Instead, it serves to inform the public that NPS intends to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition under an existing Master Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00015) with American Conservation Experience (ACE). In other words, the agency is signaling that it plans to fund a specific partner for a specific set of project activities, rather than running a competitive grant process.
From a program and funding standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and the intended funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The activity is listed under an education-related funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which aligns with youth corps style conservation and service programming. The notice indicates an expectation of one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $370,000. The listing shows no formal award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as 0), which is common in some notice postings where the primary purpose is transparency about intent to award rather than establishing a competitive range for applicants.
The posting also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) toward the project. While the notice does not describe the match ratio or specific cost-share terms in the excerpt provided, that requirement generally becomes part of the negotiated budget and the cooperative agreement conditions tied to the master agreement and the project scope.
Eligibility is shown as limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Practically, however, because this is a notice of intent to award without competition under a master cooperative agreement, the announcement is not an open invitation for other eligible nonprofits to apply. The named intended partner is American Conservation Experience (ACE), and the project title is "YOUTH CORPS" in Puerto Rico National Park, suggesting a focus on engaging young people in conservation, stewardship, and related educational/service activities in the park setting.
Key dates in the listing include a posted date and creation date of May 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2015, and an archive date of June 11, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline, since no applications are being accepted.
