Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action, published as a notice of intent to award rather than an open competitive solicitation. The stated purpose is to support work that helps identify, preserve, interpret, protect, and improve the Oregon and California National Historic Trails and their associated features and landmarks, while also promoting public awareness and appreciation of these trails. In practical terms, the project emphasis is on both resource stewardship (protecting and maintaining trail-related sites and landscape features) and public-facing interpretation and outreach (helping people understand the trails history and significance).
The award is structured as a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement, with the intended recipient being the Oregon-California Trails Association. Because it is tied to an existing cooperative agreement and presented as a notice of intent, the opportunity is not framed as broadly open to new applicants; instead, it signals the governments plan to fund a specific partner for a specific scope of work aligned with the National Trails System. The eligible applicant category is listed generally as "Others," but the eligibility narrative clarifies that this particular action is intended for the Oregon-California Trails Association under that pre-established relationship.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating or collaborating on the work, as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing is 15.935, National Trails System Projects. The estimated total funding amount is $162,700, with one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match to receive the funds. The opportunity lists no award floor or ceiling, which often simply means those limits were not specified in the posting rather than implying unlimited funding.
Timing details show the notice was posted on July 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2012, and an archive date of July 15, 2012. That very short window reinforces that this was not designed as a standard competitive application period, but rather as a formal public notice of the intent to make an award connected to an existing agreement. Anyone having trouble accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Trish Fresquez Hernandez, a contract specialist with the NPS, at 505-988-6122.
