Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1300861) comes from the National Park Service and is titled "Study, preserve, protect, interpret, and promote the Old Spanish National Historic Trail." It is published as a Notice of Intent, meaning it is not being issued as an open, competitive call for applications. Instead, the agency is announcing its intention to make a task agreement award under an already-existing cooperative agreement, specifically to the Old Spanish Trail Association. The overall purpose is to support work that advances understanding and stewardship of the Old Spanish National Historic Trail through research and documentation (study), conservation and safeguarding of resources (preserve and protect), public education and storytelling (interpret), and outreach or awareness-building activities (promote).
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. Cooperative agreements typically indicate that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction or execution, as compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category listed is Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number referenced is 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which generally supports projects tied to the National Trails System such as resource protection, interpretation, and related trail initiatives.
Funding details in the notice show an estimated total funding amount of $91,500, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices where the agency is not running a competitive process with variable award ranges, or where the exact final amount is handled within the task agreement process rather than set as a competitive maximum/minimum. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award under this notice.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on July 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2013, and an archive date of July 19, 2013. This short window is consistent with a Notice of Intent that primarily serves public transparency purposes rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants. Eligibility is effectively limited by the notice itself: while the eligibility field broadly states "Others (see text field...)," the detailed eligibility language clarifies that the award is intended for the Old Spanish Trail Association under an existing cooperative agreement, so other organizations would not be competing for this specific task agreement.
For practical questions, the notice provides a point of contact at the National Park Service: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. This contact is specifically noted for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, but would also typically be the appropriate person to clarify administrative details tied to the notice and the intended task agreement.
