Opportunity Summary:
The Watershed Rehabilitation at Redwood National State Parks opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00316) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action listed under the Natural Resources activity category and the CFDA program 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the work is expected to be carried out with substantial involvement from NPS rather than as a simple pass-through grant. The posting date and creation date were both August 30, 2014, with a closing date of September 5, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, not a Request for Applications. In practical terms, that means NPS was not soliciting proposals in open competition. Instead, the notice was published to satisfy public notice expectations by explaining that NPS intended to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. If someone encountered this posting hoping to apply, the key takeaway is that it was not an open call and was not designed for general submission of applications during the posted window.
The anticipated funding structure is described as being obligated through individual Task Agreements issued under the broader Cooperative Agreement. This typically indicates an umbrella agreement where discrete scopes of work are funded as separate tasks over time, rather than committing all funds as a single lump-sum award at the outset. The notice states that total anticipated awards from this Cooperative Agreement should not exceed 500,000 dollars, even though other summary fields list an estimated total funding amount and an award ceiling of 5,000,000 dollars and an award floor of 0. Read together, the narrative limitation is the more specific statement about what NPS expected to obligate under this particular cooperative arrangement, while the higher ceiling values in the metadata often reflect system-level or programmatic placeholders and do not necessarily indicate what will actually be awarded for this project.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The agency listed is the National Park Service. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, so applicants (where applicable) would not be expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match for the funded work. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the eligibility language mainly describes the type of organization NPS intended to partner with rather than inviting a broad pool of applicants.
