Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a "Notice of Intent to Award" titled "Youth Crews for Appalachian Trail Rehabilitation" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0173). This notice is essentially an advance public posting that NPS plans to make a single cooperative agreement award for specific project activities related to rehabilitating sections of the Appalachian Trail using youth crews. It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and falls under CFDA 15.931. The posting was created on August 29, 2016, with an original closing date of September 7, 2016, and it lists an award ceiling of $100,000 with one expected award.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not a request for applications. In other words, organizations are not being invited to compete for this funding through an open solicitation. Instead, the NPS is notifying the public that it intends to fund the work without full and open competition, which typically means the agency has identified a specific partner or recipient and is proceeding under an allowable exception to competitive procedures. The use of a cooperative agreement also signals that NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, oversight, coordination, or technical guidance during execution.
The opportunity lists eligible applicants broadly as "Others," with the note that further eligibility details would be provided in the additional eligibility information referenced in the full announcement materials. Because the public-facing summary is limited, the most complete description of the planned project activities, the intended recipient, the justification for not competing the award, and any expected deliverables or reporting requirements would be found in the related documents associated with the notice on Grants.gov. The posting also directs users who need help with the Grants.gov site or general grant-application information to use the site support resources, but again, this is primarily informational since the notice is not soliciting applications.
