Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Trails maintenance and fence removal" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGRSA10540), is a National Park Service discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. The stated purpose is to support on-the-ground maintenance and repair projects, specifically including work on trail tread and backcountry campsites, and the title indicates that fence removal is also part of the intended scope. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with active involvement and collaboration from the National Park Service rather than as a hands-off grant.
The announcement is explicitly described as "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent rather than an open, competitive solicitation. In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the intended recipient and was publicly documenting its plan to make an award under an existing cooperative agreement. The identified organization is the Student Conservation Association, and the project is characterized as a task agreement issued against that existing cooperative agreement. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others," but the eligibility notes clarify that this notice is tied to the planned award to that specific youth conservation service organization.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $28,630, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in older postings or notices of intent where exact award ranges are not expressed through those fields, even though an estimated total is provided elsewhere in the record. The listing anticipates one award.
Timing details show it was posted and created on June 29, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 30, 2011, and an archive date of July 1, 2011. That very short window aligns with the notice-of-intent nature of the posting rather than a typical competitive grant application period. The program is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which fits the intended involvement of the Student Conservation Association and the type of conservation and maintenance work described.
