Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Preserve, protect, educate, and promote the public awareness of the Santa Fe Trail," is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action issued as a notice of intent to make a single award. The NPS plans to enter into a cooperative agreement task agreement with the Santa Fe Trail Association under an already-existing cooperative agreement framework. In practical terms, that means this announcement is not set up as an open competition for multiple applicants; instead, it signals the agency's intention to fund a specific partner to carry out defined work that supports the Santa Fe Trail's long-term stewardship and public interpretation goals.
The purpose of the award is to support activities that promote and actively engage in protection and preservation of Santa Fe Trail resources, strengthen public awareness of the Trail's historical legacy, and carry forward management and development techniques that align with the National Park Service trail plan. The emphasis is both on safeguarding tangible trail resources (such as sites, landscapes, and related cultural or natural features tied to the Trail corridor) and on ensuring the public understands the Trail's significance through education and outreach. The reference to perpetuating management and development techniques consistent with the NPS trail plan highlights that the funded work is expected to follow established NPS planning direction and standards rather than inventing a separate approach.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the project period, rather than a hands-off grant. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The estimated total funding amount is $142,100, with an expected number of awards listed as one. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which usually reflects that the notice is informational and tied to a specific intent-to-award action rather than a competitive solicitation with published funding ranges.
The opportunity was posted on June 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2011, and it was archived on June 28, 2011. That extremely short posting window is consistent with a notice-of-intent announcement aimed at documenting the agency's plan to fund a particular organization rather than inviting broad submissions. Eligibility is effectively limited to the Santa Fe Trail Association as described in the eligibility narrative, even though the general eligible applicant type is listed as "Others" with clarification in the additional eligibility information.
