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 tied to the National Trails System. Rather than being an open, competitive solicitation, it is a notice of intent to make a single award by issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. The intended recipient is the Santa Fe Trail Association, and the purpose of the work is to support activities that preserve and protect the Santa Fe Trail, strengthen education and interpretation related to the trail, and promote broader public awareness of its significance.
This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR121035 and falls under CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects substantial involvement in the project activities (such as collaboration, coordination, or technical participation) rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, consistent with the trail preservation and protection focus, although the description also clearly emphasizes education and public outreach as core outcomes.
The notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $159,766 and anticipates one award. The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as $0, which typically means specific maximum and minimum award limits were not set in the public listing, not that the award has no value. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning the recipient is not required by the announcement to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is not broadly open. The listing uses a general eligible applicant category ("Others"), but the eligibility clarification makes it explicit that this is a notice of intent to award under an existing cooperative agreement specifically to the Santa Fe Trail Association. In practice, that means other organizations should not expect to apply or be considered under this notice because it is structured around an already-established agreement and a named partner.
Key administrative dates reflect how narrowly tailored the notice is. It was posted and created on June 26, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2012, and it was archived on June 28, 2012. Those short timelines are typical for notices of intent that serve more as formal public transparency postings than as invitations for new applications.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122 at NPS.
