Opportunity Summary:

The Science and New Media Outreach at Cabrillo National Monument opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00360) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award, issued by the United States Department of the Interior. The key point is that it is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, the announcement functions as a public transparency notice that the NPS plans to provide funding to a specific partner without full and open competition, using an existing cooperative agreement framework.

This project is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, and it falls under the education and natural resources activity area. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which generally covers work that helps parks communicate their resources and science to the public while supporting conservation and stewardship goals. The NPS states it intends to fund project activities through Task Agreement P14AC01678 under a master Cooperative Agreement (P14AC01677) with the Cabrillo National Monument Conservancy. In practical terms, that means the NPS and the named nonprofit partner already have an umbrella agreement in place, and this announcement is tied to a specific task order under that broader relationship.

The intended recipient is the Cabrillo National Monument Conservancy, and the eligibility category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility is described in general terms, the notice makes clear that the award is intended to be made to the Conservancy specifically, and there is no application window because the posting is not soliciting proposals. The announcement lists one expected award, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient, predefined action rather than a competitive program.

In terms of funding, the estimated total amount is $99,702. The posting lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is typical in notices that are not competing funds and are primarily meant to provide public notice rather than define a competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning the federal funding is not contingent on the recipient providing a required non-federal match for this particular award action.

Timing details reflect its notice-only nature. It was posted and created on September 11, 2014, and archived on September 18, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates explicitly state, "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," which serves as the clearest instruction that outside organizations are not being invited to apply.

For more information, the notice points users to the Grants.gov listing and provides a direct contact for access issues or questions about the announcement: William Nash, Contract Specialist, at 415-623-2262 and WilliamNash@nps.gov.
