Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Workshop for the National Heritage Areas and their NPS liaisons." It is not an open grant competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS planned to fund specific workshop-related activities through a non-competitive award action, issued as Task Agreement J44506100871 under an already-existing cooperative agreement (H4506090868). The named partner for this work is the Association of Partners for Public Land, Inc., indicating the award was directed to a specific cooperator rather than being available for new applicants to compete for.
The funding mechanism is listed as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means NPS expected substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaboration on planning, content development, coordination, or delivery of the workshop. The activity category is described as Regional Development, which fits the National Heritage Area context where coordination, partnership building, technical support, and shared practices across regions are common goals. The central purpose implied by the title is to convene National Heritage Areas and their assigned NPS liaisons for a structured workshop, likely focused on coordination, program alignment, shared challenges, and strengthening working relationships between local heritage partnerships and NPS staff who support them.
The announcement shows a single expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $30,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $30,000. That structure reinforces that this was a predetermined funding action for a set scope of work rather than a competitive process with variable award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. While the eligible applicant category is broadly stated as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), in practice this specific notice is tied to a pre-identified organization through the existing cooperative agreement, so other nonprofits would not have had a meaningful path to apply under this posting.
Key dates indicate it was posted and created on September 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 27, 2010, and an archive date of September 28, 2010. Those short timelines are consistent with a notice meant to document an intended, directed award rather than solicit proposals. Anyone seeking the full details was directed to review the attachment under the full announcement link on Grants.gov, and the posting includes a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The funding opportunity number is NPS 10 NERO 0063, which also suggests it was managed within an NPS regional office context (NERO commonly referring to the Northeast Region).
