Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary funding notice for a project titled "Provide for Ridgerunner Backcountry and trail support program" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0195). The notice is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that NPS intends to make a single, non-competitive award to support specific backcountry and trail-related activities associated with a ridgerunner program.
The funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating activities, setting program priorities, or collaborating on implementation. The funded work falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.935, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs.
The opportunity lists an expected total of one award, with an award ceiling of $11,084, indicating the maximum anticipated federal share for this particular agreement. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others," with a note that additional eligibility details would be provided in the full announcement’s eligibility clarification field; however, because the award is non-competitive, this category mainly functions as a formal classification rather than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on August 29, 2016, and carried an original closing date of September 8, 2016. In the context of a non-competitive notice, that closing date typically reflects the period during which the public can view the notice and related documentation rather than a deadline for submitting applications. Overall, the announcement’s main purpose is transparency: it informs the public that NPS plans to fund ridgerunner backcountry and trail support activities via a cooperative agreement without conducting a competitive application process.
