Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Youth Projects for Appalachian Trail Rehabilitation in Maine." This notice is essentially a public transparency posting that signals NPS plans to make an award through a cooperative agreement, but it is not an open solicitation. In other words, it is not asking organizations to submit applications or compete for the funding; instead, it announces that NPS intends to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive process.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award and will be made using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, coordination, technical input, or joint planning). The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to NPS assistance programs. The award has an anticipated ceiling of $100,000, and NPS expects to make a single award.
The activity category is labeled as "Other," with additional clarification normally provided in the full notice documentation. Based on the title, the funded work centers on rehabilitation efforts on the Appalachian Trail in Maine and emphasizes youth project engagement, which commonly involves structured youth crews or youth conservation corps-style work focused on trail repair, maintenance, or restoration tasks.
The posting identifies eligibility broadly as "Others," with the specifics intended to be clarified in an eligibility detail field in the full listing. Since this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive grant, eligibility language in the summary is less about inviting applicants and more about documenting the type of recipient NPS expects to work with under the cooperative agreement.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (NPS 16 NERO 0097), the creation date (July 5, 2016), and an original closing date of July 14, 2016. For this kind of notice, the closing date generally functions more like an administrative posting window on Grants.gov rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the notice explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. The notice directs readers to consult the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov for complete details and points to Grants.gov support resources for help with site navigation and general grants information.
