Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Youth Historic Preservation Conservation Corps at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area" is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement that serves strictly as a public notice, not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, it is not inviting applications from the general public and it is not a request for proposals. Instead, the NPS is notifying the public that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an award that will be made without full and open competition. This type of posting is commonly used when an agency has a justified reason to make a non-competitive award, and it is published to document transparency around that decision.
The opportunity is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0043. It is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity and the planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, providing technical guidance, coordinating field activities, or otherwise working closely with the recipient during implementation. The activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification presumably provided in the full notice text available through the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov.
The project focus, as reflected in the title, centers on a Youth Historic Preservation Conservation Corps effort at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. While the brief summary in the posting does not lay out the specific tasks, programs with this framing typically combine youth workforce development with hands-on preservation and conservation work. That often includes activities such as maintaining or stabilizing historic structures, assisting with historic landscape work, performing preservation-related documentation, and completing resource stewardship projects that support the protection of cultural resources within a national park unit. The intent is usually twofold: advancing on-the-ground preservation goals while also providing young participants with paid work experience, training, and exposure to careers in historic preservation and conservation.
The notice indicates an expected single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $367,804. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number tied to the opportunity is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service funding assistance. The posting lists eligibility broadly as "Others," with the caveat that the details are contained in an additional eligibility clarification field and, more importantly, in the full notice documentation. Since this is not an open competition, eligibility language here is less about inviting applicants and more about formally identifying the type of organization the NPS intends to fund or the type of entity that could receive such an award under the relevant authority.
Key administrative dates show that the opportunity was created and posted on April 28, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2016. For a notice of intent to award, this "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period on Grants.gov rather than a submission deadline for applications, since applications are not being requested. The announcement also directs readers to the "Related Documents" link for complete details, and points to the Grants.gov support resources for navigation help and general grant information, even though this particular posting is not meant to generate applications.
Overall, this posting is best understood as a transparency and documentation step: the NPS is signaling that it will proceed with a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement up to $367,804 to carry out youth-focused historic preservation and conservation corps activities at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with additional specifics available only in the attached or linked full notice materials.
