Opportunity Summary:
"A Park for Every Classroom" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0044) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, education-focused cooperative agreement action that was posted as a Notice of Intent to Award. The key point is that it was not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, the NPS used this posting to publicly document its intent to continue funding a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive arrangement tied to an existing cooperative agreement with a named partner, Shelburne Farms.
The announcement describes a continuation award under a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, categorized under Education. The planned action was to fund Task Agreement P11AT40358 (R1818110062) under Cooperative Agreement H1818080010 with Shelburne Farms. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already established a cooperative partnership framework with this organization and intended to add or continue a defined scope of work through a task agreement rather than soliciting new applicants. Although the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" category (501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education), the notice language makes clear that the funding decision was already directed to the existing cooperator and that other entities were not being invited to apply.
The total funding amount listed was $50,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $50,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible funding levels. The opportunity anticipated one award, required no cost sharing or matching, and was posted on June 18, 2011, with a closing date of June 23, 2011, then archived on June 24, 2011. Those dates function more as administrative posting and recordkeeping deadlines than as a window for proposal submissions, since the notice explicitly states it is not an application solicitation.
