Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted this notice to publicly announce its intent to make a cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Rehabilitate and Monitor Burn Pile Areas." The key point is that this announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a formal notice that NPS plans to fund specific work without full and open competition through Task Agreement P15AC01396, which sits under an existing master Cooperative Agreement (P15AC00813) with the Mountains Restoration Trust.

This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically indicates NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared project oversight), as opposed to a more hands-off pass-through grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA listing is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which aligns with land management, restoration, and resource monitoring activities commonly supported by NPS.

Funding details indicate NPS anticipated making one award with an estimated total of $45,000. The stated award ceiling is $45,000, and the award floor is $15,000, reflecting the expected range for the project agreement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. While the eligibility field lists 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), this particular notice is tied to a specific intended recipient through the existing cooperative agreement framework, rather than being open for general competition.

The posting and administrative timeline shows it was posted and created on August 4, 2015, and archived on August 14, 2015. Both the original and current closing dates state "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that there was no application window because the notice is strictly informational and intended to satisfy public notice requirements for a non-competitive intent to award.

For anyone needing the full announcement details or experiencing trouble accessing the notice electronically, the listed point of contact is Jason Whitehead at JasonWhitehead@nps.gov. The notice also references an additional information link hosted on Grants.gov.
