Opportunity Summary:
The Westfield River Westfield Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice announcing the agencys intent to make a single award through a cooperative agreement. It is explicitly a notice of intent to award, not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking competing proposals from the public. Instead, the posting serves as a transparency step to inform the public that the NPS plans to fund specific project work without full and open competition.
This action is described as a modification to continue existing work under Cooperative Agreement H4507080036 with The Trustees of Reservations, a nonprofit organization. In practical terms, the NPS is extending or continuing an ongoing partnership effort tied to the Westfield River and its Wild and Scenic River related assistance activities. The listed activity categories (community development, education, environment, and natural resources) indicate the work likely supports river stewardship and community-based conservation goals typical of Wild and Scenic River assistance, such as resource protection, public engagement and education, and coordination with local partners. The detailed scope of the continued project activities is referenced as being contained in an attachment under the Full Announcement section of the original posting.
The funding profile is straightforward: one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $73,000, and both the award ceiling and floor set at $73,000, indicating a fixed planned award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity was posted on July 26, 2012, had an original and current closing date of July 31, 2012, and was archived on August 1, 2012. The funding opportunity number is NPS 12 NERO 0108, and the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial federal involvement in the project compared with a standard grant.
Although the eligible applicant type is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the context of the announcement makes clear that the intended recipient for this continuation funding is The Trustees of Reservations under the existing cooperative agreement, rather than an open competition among eligible nonprofits. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement materials, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
