Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary education funding notice titled "Support Local Educators in Northeast through a Park for Every Classroom Program" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 18 NERO 0186). The purpose is tied to education-focused work in the Northeast region, supporting local educators through the Park for Every Classroom program, which generally involves helping teachers connect curriculum and classroom learning with park resources, place-based education, and related programming delivered in partnership with parks.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS intends to make an award through a task agreement under a master cooperative agreement that has already been competed previously or justified as a single-source arrangement. In other words, the agency is not opening a new competition for outside applicants; it is announcing its plan to issue a task agreement to a partner organization already covered under an existing cooperative agreement framework.
The funding instrument for this action is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The total anticipated funding amount (award ceiling) listed is $48,000, with one expected award. The opportunity is categorized under the Education funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.954. The notice was created on September 2, 2018, with an original closing date of September 11, 2018, which in this context functions more as an administrative timeline for the public notice rather than an application deadline for new submissions.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. However, because the announcement is not soliciting applications and is tied to an existing master cooperative agreement, practical eligibility is effectively limited to the pre-identified partner(s) within that agreement structure.
