To promote and engage in the protection and preservation of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice focused on supporting protection and preservation work connected to the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. The announcement is specifically a Notice of Intent, meaning it is not a broadly competitive call for proposals. Instead, NPS is indicating its intent to make a task agreement award under an already-existing cooperative agreement with a named organization, the Trail of Tears Association. The purpose is to promote and engage in activities that help protect, preserve, and interpret the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, a component of the National Trails System.

The funding opportunity is identified as NPSNOINTIR1300797, titled "To promote and engage in the protection and preservation of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail." It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument type, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project work (for example, coordination, technical support, or shared planning between NPS and the partner). The related CFDA number is 15.935, National Trails System Projects, which supports efforts tied to nationally designated trails.

In terms of scale and award structure, NPS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $190,450. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which generally signals that this posting is not structured like an open competition with a stated minimum and maximum for applicants to request, but rather reflects the administrative nature of the notice tied to an existing agreement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.

Eligibility is effectively limited by the nature of the Notice of Intent. While the posting’s eligible applicant category is broadly labeled as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility clarification states that the intent is to award to the Trail of Tears Association under an existing cooperative agreement. In practice, that means other entities would not be competing for this specific award because it is attached to an existing partnership mechanism and a named recipient.

The posting timeline reinforces that it is informational and procedural rather than a standard application window. The opportunity was created July 9, 2013, posted July 10, 2013, and had an original and current closing date of July 11, 2013, with an archive date of July 12, 2013. This very short posting and closing period is typical of non-competitive notices where an agency is documenting an intended award rather than inviting new submissions.

For questions or difficulties accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122.
