Opportunity Summary:
The "Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area" grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is not an open funding competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, the notice serves as a public statement that the NPS plans to make a single, specific award without full and open competition through a cooperative agreement. The identified cooperator for this award is the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation (SIHC), the nonprofit organization associated with the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0053 and is categorized as a mandatory opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, with an activity focus in the environment category. The posting date and creation date are both September 16, 2010, with a closing date of September 22, 2010, and the archive date of September 23, 2010. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with notices that are meant to inform the public of an intended award rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants.
Financially, the NPS indicates an estimated total funding amount of $85,000. The award floor and award ceiling are both $85,000, which signals that the agency anticipated one award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The notice also states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Although the listing includes an eligible applicant category of nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the key practical point is that the NPS explicitly names SIHC as the intended recipient under Cooperative Agreement H4514100001. In other words, while the eligibility field reflects the general class of organizations that could qualify for similar agreements, this particular posting is specifically tied to a non-competitive, pre-identified partner and therefore is not structured for new applicants to compete for the funding.
For anyone trying to locate the official scope or project activity details, the notice directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on the original listing. The posting also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476.
