Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice titled "NPS Partnerships and Philanthropy Training and Certification Program" under funding opportunity number P16AS00471. The announcement makes it clear that it is not a request for applications and should not be read as an open call for proposals. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice that NPS intends to fund specific project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the agency plans to make an award without soliciting or comparing applications from multiple applicants.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant. A cooperative agreement typically signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as collaborating on project direction, participating in planning or oversight, or coordinating activities to ensure they align with agency goals. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into standard buckets like research, construction, or education as defined in many grant listings, and the specific work is associated with a training and certification program focused on partnerships and philanthropy within the NPS context.
The funding announcement lists a single anticipated award, with an award ceiling of 1 (as recorded in the source data), and it references CFDA number 15.939, which is the catalog listing used to classify the federal assistance program under which the support is being provided. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the implication that eligibility details were further clarified elsewhere in the full notice; however, since this is a non-competitive intent-to-award notice, eligibility language mainly serves administrative completeness rather than inviting new applicants.
Key administrative dates in the notice include a creation date of August 9, 2016, and an original closing date of August 19, 2016. In this type of announcement, the "closing date" does not function like a normal application deadline. It is more commonly tied to internal processing timelines or the period during which the agency posts the notice for public awareness before proceeding with the intended award.
In practical terms, the announcement communicates that NPS planned to move forward with funding a specific partnership and philanthropy training and certification effort, using a cooperative agreement mechanism, and that the award would be made without competition. The primary purpose of publishing the notice is to inform the public of the agency's intention and to document the action in a public-facing system, rather than to recruit applicants or gather proposals.
