Opportunity Summary:

The opportunity titled "The Lower East Side Tenement National Historic Site, New York" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly announce the agency's intent to fund a specific set of project activities tied to the Lower East Side Tenement National Historic Site in New York. The announcement makes a point of stating that it is not a request for applications, meaning it is not structured as an open, competitive grant solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice that NPS plans to move forward with funding through a noncompetitive process, sometimes described in federal grant language as proceeding "without full and open competition."

The funding mechanism for the project is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, coordination, oversight, or collaborative implementation. The opportunity is categorized under a mandatory opportunity listing, and the funding activity category is labeled "Other," indicating the work does not neatly fit within standard grant categories and is further clarified in the original announcement text field (not included in the excerpt). The relevant CFDA number associated with the program is 15.954, which identifies the federal assistance program framework under which this funding sits.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number "NPS 16 NERO 0147," a creation date of August 11, 2016, and an original closing date of August 21, 2016. Even though a closing date is listed, the notice repeatedly clarifies that it is not inviting applications, which typically means the closing date relates to internal processing timelines, public comment windows, or formal posting requirements rather than a deadline for proposal submissions from the general public.

The announced financial scope includes an award ceiling of $246,000 and an expectation of making one award. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional eligibility specifics referenced as being available in a separate text field not provided here. Taken together, the announcement signals that NPS intended to select a specific partner organization or recipient for this work and is publishing the notice to comply with federal requirements for announcing and documenting noncompetitive funding decisions.
