Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Preserve, protect, educate, and promote the public awareness of the Santa Fe Trail" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action issued as a notice of intent to award. Rather than an open, competitive solicitation, it signals the agency's plan to make a single award to a specific organization: the Santa Fe Trail Association. The planned award would be made through a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement, meaning the work is intended to be carried out collaboratively with NPS involvement consistent with how cooperative agreements typically operate.
The purpose of the planned task agreement is centered on the Santa Fe Trail, a historic route recognized under the National Trails System. The work described is broad but mission-focused: preserving and protecting trail resources, educating audiences about the trail's history and significance, and promoting public awareness. In practical terms, efforts under a project like this commonly include activities such as public interpretation and outreach, educational programming, coordination with communities and partners along the trail corridor, and supporting stewardship actions that help conserve trail-related sites and stories. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, aligning with the stewardship and conservation aspects of national trail work, while the CFDA listing (15.935, National Trails System Projects) indicates the federal assistance program area associated with the effort.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR107020. The posting timeline reflects how notices of intent are often handled: it was posted on July 19, 2010, created July 16, 2010, and carried a very short window with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2010, then archived July 22, 2010. The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding amount is $147,100. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the recipient was not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which typically reflects how some systems capture funding details for notices of intent or task agreements rather than signaling that no funding is available; the estimated total funding figure is the meaningful number provided.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the eligible applicants field is broadly labeled "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, the eligibility statement clarifies that this notice is specifically for an intended award to the Santa Fe Trail Association under an existing cooperative agreement. In other words, it is not inviting applications from the general public; it is documenting NPS's intent to proceed with a partner already in place for work that supports preservation, protection, education, and public awareness of the Santa Fe Trail.
