Opportunity Summary:

This funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIM111036) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant announcement issued as a notice of intent to make a single award under the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935). The purpose is narrowly focused: it signals the NPS plan to issue a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement with the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail (NHT) Association. In practical terms, this is not an open, competitive solicitation for broad applicants, but rather a targeted action to support ongoing partner work connected to the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT.

The core goal of the effort is to promote and actively engage in protection and preservation of resources associated with the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT. The announcement emphasizes three related outcomes: safeguarding the trail corridor and its associated cultural and natural resources, increasing public awareness of the trail and its legacy, and continuing management and development practices that align with the National Park Service trail plan. The language points to work that helps keep stewardship consistent with NPS planning and standards, suggesting activities such as coordinated preservation initiatives, education and outreach, partner engagement, and other trail-support functions that reinforce long-term management approaches.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement or collaboration during project performance rather than a hands-off grant. The estimated total funding listed is $55,488, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching is required. Award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which commonly appears in older postings where exact award parameters are handled through the underlying agreement/task agreement rather than advertised as a competitive range.

Timing details show the notice was posted and created on June 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2011, and an archive date of June 28, 2011. Those dates reinforce that the item functions as a brief notice of intent rather than a long application window. Eligibility is listed generally as "Others," but the eligibility narrative clarifies that the intended recipient is the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro NHT Association under an existing cooperative agreement.

For access or technical issues related to the full announcement, the NPS listed a contact point: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, phone 505-988-6122.
