Opportunity Summary:
This government funding notice comes from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and it is labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency announcement that NPS intends to provide funding to support a specific set of educational and interpretive activities tied to the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail in the Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland. The notice indicates the award will be made without full and open competition because it will be issued as a modification to an existing cooperative agreement already in place: Cooperative Agreement H4250100052 with the Maryland Department of Planning, acting on behalf of the Maryland Historical Trust. In practical terms, this means the work is being added to or funded through an ongoing partnership arrangement rather than through a new competitive grant process.
The core purpose of the project is twofold. First, it supports production of a pocket guide for the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail. A pocket guide typically functions as a compact, visitor-friendly interpretive publication that helps the public understand the trail's historical significance, key locations, themes, and how to explore the sites. Given the trail's connection to events surrounding the War of 1812 and the circumstances that inspired the national anthem, the guide would be aimed at helping residents, travelers, educators, and heritage tourists navigate and interpret the places and stories associated with the region. Second, the project includes development and delivery of an interpretive workshop series titled "Train the Trainers" for the Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland. A "train-the-trainer" format usually focuses on preparing educators, interpreters, guides, volunteers, and partner organization staff to deliver consistent, accurate, and engaging interpretation to the public, multiplying the impact beyond a single event by equipping participants to teach others.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements typically involve substantial federal involvement, meaning NPS would likely play an active role in coordination, review, or technical guidance rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is listed as education, aligning with the publication and interpretive training components. The notice anticipates a single award, and eligibility is limited to state governments, which fits the identified recipient: the Maryland Department of Planning on behalf of the Maryland Historical Trust.
Financially, the estimated total funding is $85,225, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $85,225, signaling a fixed, predetermined funding amount for the specified work rather than a range that could vary by proposal. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The funding opportunity number is NPS 11 NERO 0091, and it was posted on August 16, 2011. Although there is an "original closing date" and "current closing date" of August 21, 2011, those dates function more as administrative markers for the public notice rather than deadlines for applicants, since the announcement is explicitly not seeking applications. The archive date is August 22, 2011, indicating when the notice was set to be formally archived in the system.
For access and support, the notice directs readers to consult the attachment under the full announcement link for complete details. It also provides a point of contact for technical difficulty accessing the full announcement: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, with a listed phone number (215-597-6476). Overall, this notice documents NPS intent to fund a specific Maryland-focused interpretive and educational effort supporting the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail through an existing state partnership, using a set amount of federal funding and a cooperative agreement structure rather than an open competition.
