Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Study, preserve, protect, interpret, and promote the Old Spanish National Historic Trail" under Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR121034. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is connected to CFDA 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The posted and created date for the notice was June 21, 2012, with a closing date of June 22, 2012, and the notice was archived on June 23, 2012. The estimated total funding amount listed is $91,500, and there is no stated award ceiling or award floor. The notice indicates that no cost sharing or matching funds are required.
This announcement is not a typical open competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly described as a "notice of intent to award" a task agreement under an already existing cooperative agreement. The intended recipient named in the notice is the Old Spanish Trail Association. In practical terms, that means the NPS was signaling its plan to make a single award (the notice lists an expected number of awards as 1) through an established partnership vehicle rather than inviting broad public applications. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with the eligibility clarification essentially confirming that the award is intended for the Old Spanish Trail Association through the existing cooperative agreement.
The purpose of the task agreement is centered on supporting work related to the Old Spanish National Historic Trail, specifically activities to study the trail, preserve and protect its resources, interpret its history for the public, and promote awareness of the trail. While the notice does not break out a detailed scope of work, the four verbs used (study, preserve/protect, interpret, promote) typically cover a range of trail-related projects such as research and documentation, resource stewardship and preservation planning, development of interpretive materials or educational outreach, and coordinated promotion or public engagement that increases understanding and visibility of the trail and its associated cultural and historic resources.
The funding instrument type identified is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the supported work compared to a standard grant. The issuing agency is the National Park Service. For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the point of contact listed is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122.
