Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) funding action that is being issued for transparency purposes rather than to solicit proposals. In other words, it is not an open call and it is not asking outside parties to submit applications. The NPS is publicly announcing its intent to provide funding for specific project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the agency already plans to make the award without running a competition among multiple applicants.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00474 and is categorized as a discretionary award made through a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, such as collaborating on technical direction, coordinating activities, or participating in oversight and implementation as the work proceeds. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.945, which is the program identifier used in federal assistance listings.
The notice was created on August 17, 2016, with an original closing date of August 31, 2016. Even though a closing date is provided, in announcements like this it typically functions as an administrative deadline for documentation or internal processing rather than a deadline for competitive submissions, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
Financially, the award ceiling is listed as $30,000, with an expectation of one award. That strongly suggests a single, targeted project or partner arrangement rather than a broad funding program. Eligibility is described as "Others" with additional clarification expected in an external eligibility details field (not included in the text provided), which commonly means the intended recipient may be a specific type of organization, partner, or entity identified by the agency for this work.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a public notice of intent by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service to fund a particular natural resources-related project via a single cooperative agreement, up to $30,000, and that it is being done without competition, so organizations should not interpret it as an opportunity to apply unless they are the designated or otherwise eligible party referenced in the fuller eligibility language.
