Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOINTIR1900496
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Partnerships, Signing, and Awareness along National Historic Trail" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOINTIR1900496). The announcement was created on May 23, 2019, with an original closing date of June 2, 2019, but it is important to understand that this posting is not an open call for proposals and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that NPS intends to make a specific award to a named organization.
The planned award will be made through a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The project is categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.931, which is commonly tied to National Park Service resource and stewardship assistance activities. While the eligible applicant category listed is nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that this particular funding action is directed to one specific recipient: the Student Conservation Association.
The notice also clarifies the administrative pathway for the award: it will be issued through a task agreement under a previously awarded cooperative agreement (P15AC00031). That means the underlying partnership framework and terms were established earlier, and this action is an additional, project-specific agreement made under that existing cooperative relationship. The expected number of awards is one, and the maximum funding amount listed (award ceiling) is $47,188, indicating the intended scale of federal support for the described work.
Based on the title, the funded work is expected to focus on building partnerships and improving trail signing and public awareness along a National Historic Trail. In practical terms, efforts under a project like this often involve coordinating with local and regional partners, supporting consistent and accurate trail signage, and increasing public understanding of the trail's location, history, and significance. The announcement itself does not provide a detailed scope of work, timeline, or deliverables, but it does communicate the key takeaway: this is a pre-identified award to the Student Conservation Association rather than a competitive funding opportunity open to other applicants.Apply for NPSNOINTIR1900496
