Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Parks for People: Designing the Experience" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding through a cooperative agreement, rather than an open call for new proposals. In plain terms, it is a public notification that the United States Department of the Interior, via the NPS, plans to move forward with a specific agreement for defined project activities without full and open competition. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for applications, meaning organizations should not treat it as a competitive funding opportunity where they can submit a proposal for consideration.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as continuation funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is Education, and the funding is tied to CFDA number 15.954, which is the National Park Service program area for conservation, protection, outreach, and education. Only one award is anticipated, and both the award ceiling and award floor are the same amount, $139,702, which signals that the NPS expects to make a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The total estimated funding is also $139,702, matching the single expected award.
The eligible applicant type shown is nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent to award under an existing cooperative agreement framework and it specifies work under Task Agreement P14AC01080 with the Van Alen Institute, the practical implication is that the intended recipient is already identified and the award is planned for that partner. The announcement is essentially fulfilling transparency requirements by documenting that the NPS intends to proceed with this partner and this task agreement without a competitive solicitation.
The posting and timing details reflect how short these notices can be: it was posted on June 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2014, and it was archived on July 6, 2014. Those dates do not represent a typical application window, because there is no application process; they mainly indicate the period the notice was publicly available. For anyone needing the full attachment referenced in the announcement, the contact person listed is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056, for assistance accessing the complete announcement materials.
