Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Promote and engage in the protection of the Trail of Tears NHT" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR107025) under the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935). The purpose of the award is to support work that protects and preserves resources associated with the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail and to strengthen public awareness of the trail's history and continuing legacy. A central focus is interpreting and communicating the removal histories of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), and Seminole peoples, while also promoting management and development approaches that align with the National Park Service trail plan.
This posting is not described as an open competition; it is a notice of intent to make an award to a specific partner, the Trail of Tears Association, through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. In practical terms, that means the NPS is signaling its plan to fund a defined set of activities with that organization rather than soliciting proposals broadly. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during the period of performance, such as collaboration on planning, technical guidance, or coordinated implementation to ensure activities remain consistent with NPS standards and trail-wide goals.
The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $165,500, with one expected award. The published award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which usually reflects how the notice was entered into the system rather than the absence of funding, since the estimated total funding is clearly stated. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash, eligible in-kind contributions, or other allowable match) as part of the overall project budget, consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and applicable program rules.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on July 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2010, and an archive date of July 21, 2010. The very short posting window fits with the "notice of intent" format, where the main goal is public transparency about an intended non-competitive action rather than running a lengthy application period. The activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting that the work includes stewardship of trail-related resources and sites, alongside interpretation and public engagement.
For questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122 (National Park Service).
