Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) published a discretionary funding notice titled "Promote and engage in the protection and preservation of the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT" under Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1300856. The purpose of the effort is to support work that promotes public engagement and advances protection and preservation activities related to the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail (NHT). The announcement is framed specifically as a Notice of Intent, meaning it signals the agency's plan to make an award rather than soliciting open competition for new applicants.
This opportunity is structured as a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement, with the intended recipient identified as the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT Association (CARTA). Because the notice is tied to an already-established cooperative relationship, eligibility is effectively limited to the named organization, even though the general eligibility field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." In practical terms, the "additional information" clarifies that the award is intended for CARTA through the existing cooperative agreement mechanism.
The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the supported activities (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA program associated with the award is 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which is commonly used for projects supporting the planning, development, management, interpretation, and stewardship of National Scenic and National Historic Trails.
The notice anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $65,570. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is a common posting artifact in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations with defined minimums and maximums, or where the agency is not using the ceiling/floor fields to communicate the funding range.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on July 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 13, 2013, and an archive date of July 14, 2013. This very short open period is consistent with a Notice of Intent for a directed award, where the public posting functions largely as a transparency step rather than an invitation for broad application submissions.
For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122.
