Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) grant action titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD: Youth Project: Exterior rehabilitation of the Val-Kill Playhouse at Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site." It is a public announcement that the U.S. Department of the Interior, through the NPS, intends to fund a specific set of project activities related to exterior rehabilitation work at the Val-Kill Playhouse, which is located at the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site. The emphasis on a "Youth Project" indicates the work is structured to involve youth participants in some capacity, often aligning with NPS goals around workforce development, skills training, and engaging young people in preservation and stewardship work at nationally significant sites.
A key point in the notice is that it is not a request for applications. In other words, this is not a competitive funding opportunity where multiple organizations are being asked to submit proposals for consideration. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice stating that NPS plans to make an award without "full and open competition." These types of announcements are commonly used when an agency has identified a specific partner or mechanism that best fits the project purpose, and the agency is documenting that intent publicly. The notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section (on Grants.gov) for the full justification, background, and any additional details that are not included in the brief synopsis.
The funding opportunity number is listed as NPS 16 NERO 0109, and it falls under the discretionary category, meaning the award is made at the agency's discretion rather than through a formula allocation. The intended funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies that NPS expects to remain substantially involved in the project during implementation. Compared with a standard grant, a cooperative agreement often reflects closer collaboration, oversight, or technical participation by federal staff, especially for projects involving resource protection, historic preservation standards, or work performed on federal property.
Financially, the notice identifies an award ceiling of $65,350 and indicates that NPS expects to make one award. The CFDA number provided is 15.931, which corresponds to the National Park Service program authority under which this assistance is administered. The notice also lists eligible applicants broadly as "Others," with the implication that specific eligibility details or the intended recipient category are clarified elsewhere (again, typically in the attached or related documentation). The original posting date is July 14, 2016, with an original closing date of July 23, 2016, which in the context of a notice of intent generally reflects an administrative timeline for posting and public awareness rather than a window for submitting applications.
Overall, the opportunity is essentially a formal public statement that NPS plans to move forward with funding a single partner to carry out exterior rehabilitation work at the Val-Kill Playhouse as a youth-focused project, using a cooperative agreement and up to $65,350 in federal assistance. Any detailed scope of work, rationale for the noncompetitive approach, partner identification, specific preservation methods, reporting expectations, or youth engagement structure would be contained in the related documents referenced in the notice.
