Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Support Park Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0086). The key point of this notice is that it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notification that NPS intended to enter into a cooperative agreement without full and open competition for a specific set of project activities.
The planned award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NPS anticipated substantial involvement in carrying out the supported activities rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The agreement identified in the notice is Cooperative Agreement P11AC40532, and the intended partner (cooperator) was the Essex National Heritage Commission. Although the listing includes a general eligibility category of 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical effect of this announcement is that the award was already directed to the named organization, which is why the notice emphasizes that it was not soliciting applications from other entities.
In terms of focus, the opportunity is categorized under education, environment, and natural resources, and it is tied to CFDA number 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. The funding amount was fixed at $55,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $55,000, indicating a single, predetermined award size. NPS expected to make one award total, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Administratively, the notice was posted on July 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2012, and it was archived on July 19, 2012. The short open period reflects its function as a public notice rather than a competitive opportunity. For full project details, NPS directed readers to the attachment under the full announcement on the posting page. The listed point of contact for access issues was Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153.
