Opportunity Summary:
The "Parks for the People: Designing the Parks Experience" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0031) is not an open grant competition and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it functions as a formal Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the National Park Service (NPS) is publishing a required public notice that it plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, this kind of posting is typically used when the agency has already identified a partner or recipient and is documenting its intent to move forward through a non-competitive award process.
This funding action is listed as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the NPS in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The activity category is labeled "Other" with the clarifying note that the key purpose of the announcement is the notice itself, rather than inviting proposals. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.954, National Park Service: Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, signaling that the funded work aligns with NPS program goals that often include public engagement, interpretation, education, and stewardship-related efforts.
The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $35,000. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $35,000, which strongly suggests a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide additional funds to match the federal contribution.
Key timeline details show the notice was posted and created on April 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 22, 2015, and an archive date of April 23, 2015. Even though a closing date is provided, in a notice-of-intent context it mainly serves as an administrative milestone for the public notice period rather than an application deadline.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the text again emphasizes that this is not an application-based opportunity. The administering agency is the National Park Service. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, at 215-597-5949 (with an NPS email referenced in the notice).
