Opportunity Summary:
The Trail Stewards Program: Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0212) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single, non-competitive award for project activities associated with stewardship of the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail. This is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a solicitation and does not invite new applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service plans to fund a specific set of activities through a cooperative agreement, without opening the opportunity to competitive proposals.
The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is categorized as discretionary funding using the cooperative agreement instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, such as coordinating work, providing technical guidance, or collaborating on implementation and deliverables, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal ongoing federal participation.
Financially, the announcement lists an award ceiling of $168,160 and anticipates one award in total, which aligns with the non-competitive nature of the notice. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.931, which corresponds to NPS-related assistance programs. The original posting date is September 13, 2016, with an original closing date of September 22, 2016; however, in this context the closing date should be understood as the end of the public notice window rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the announcement is not requesting proposals.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note indicating that additional eligibility details would normally be provided in a related field. In practice, for notices like this, that phrasing often reflects that the intended recipient is a specific organization or partner that the NPS has already identified for the work, which is why the funding is being issued without competition.
In summary, this announcement is essentially an administrative transparency notice: the NPS is signaling that it intends to direct up to $168,160 through one cooperative agreement to support trail stewardship activities tied to the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail, and that the agency does not plan to run an open application process for this particular award.
