Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Capture the NPS Experience with StoryCorps: A Centennial Project." It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the general public through an open competition. Instead, the purpose is to provide public transparency that the agency plans to fund specific activities with a predetermined partner.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action under the Environment and Natural Resources funding activity category, using a cooperative agreement as the award instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, collaborating on project direction, coordinating access to sites or participants, helping shape outreach, or aligning deliverables with NPS priorities), rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The project is positioned as part of a centennial-related effort, suggesting it is intended to document, preserve, and share stories connected to the national park experience as part of milestone programming.
The award profile indicates the NPS expected to issue one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling is also listed as $500,000, with an award floor of $0, which generally means the agency set an upper limit at $500,000 but did not specify a minimum amount other than zero. The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would be expected to contribute resources in addition to federal dollars, such as cash match, in-kind services, personnel time, partner support, or other allowable contributions consistent with federal assistance rules and the specific agreement terms.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. While the "Eligible Applicants" field uses a broad label ("Others"), the detailed eligibility information clarifies that this notice is open to StoryCorps, Inc. In practice, that aligns with the non-competitive nature of the announcement: it is a public notice of NPS intent to fund StoryCorps for this particular project rather than an open call where multiple organizations could apply. The CFDA number provided is 15.954, identified as "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," which is the assistance program under which this cooperative agreement would be issued.
In terms of timing, the announcement was posted and created on May 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 15, 2015, and an archive date of June 14, 2015. For notices like this, the closing date generally functions more as an administrative marker for the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since applications are not being solicited.
For administrative or access questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Noel Miller, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 402-661-1658. The notice indicates an email address exists "above" in the original posting context, implying that in the full listing there would be an email contact as well.
