Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Transportation planning study to improve access to NPS" under Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00156. The project focus is a transportation planning study aimed at improving multi-modal access to National Park System destinations along the Great Highway/coastal trail corridor. In practical terms, the study is intended to look at how people reach and move through these coastal and park-connected areas using a range of travel options, such as walking, biking, public transit, and driving, and then develop planning recommendations that make access safer, easier, and more connected.
This opportunity was issued as a Cooperative Agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). The total estimated funding was $125,000, which also served as the award ceiling, with an award floor listed as $1. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award.
A key detail is that the announcement was explicitly labeled a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and stated that it was not a request for applications. Instead of soliciting proposals competitively, NPS used the posting to publicly document its intention to fund a specific project with a named organization: the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR). The posting date and creation date were both July 25, 2013, with an original/current closing date of July 31, 2013, and an archive date of August 1, 2013. The expected number of awards was one, consistent with the intent-to-award format and the identification of a single recipient.
Eligibility, as shown in the opportunity data, was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Administrative details and supporting materials were made available through Grants.gov. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed NPS contact was Kristina Bliss, reachable at 805-370-2321 or kristinabliss@nps.gov.
