Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Preserve, protect, educate, and promote the public awareness of the Santa Fe Trail" under Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR130034. The purpose is to support work that advances preservation and protection of resources associated with the Santa Fe National Historic Trail, while also strengthening education efforts and increasing public understanding and awareness of the trail's history and significance. The funding activity aligns with natural resource and heritage-related priorities and falls under CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects.
This announcement is not a typical open competition. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, and it identifies the intended recipient as the Santa Fe Trail Association. In practical terms, that means the NPS is signaling its plan to make an award to a specific partner organization rather than soliciting proposals broadly from multiple applicants. The eligibility field reflects this by indicating "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with the clarification being that the award is intended for the Santa Fe Trail Association through an already-established cooperative agreement framework.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $159,645. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as $0), which typically indicates that the exact award range was not presented in the public-facing summary fields even though an estimated total funding amount is provided. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, so applicants were not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds for this task agreement.
Key dates indicate this was posted and created on July 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2013, and an archive date of July 22, 2013. The very short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice of intent where the agency is documenting an intended award action rather than running a full, open application cycle.
The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement, which generally suggests that NPS anticipated substantial federal involvement during the performance of the work, such as collaborative planning, coordination, technical input, or shared implementation responsibilities between the NPS and the recipient organization. Although the short summary does not list specific deliverables, the stated scope centers on preserving and protecting trail-related resources and delivering education and public outreach that promotes awareness of the Santa Fe National Historic Trail.
