Opportunity Summary:
The "Academic Consortium Course Curriculum and Development" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI WASO 2722100041) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single, non-competitive award rather than an open call for applications. In other words, it is public notice that the NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities without soliciting proposals from other applicants. The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement under the education activity category, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000 (award ceiling $30,000; award floor $1) and no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The purpose of the funding is to support the work of an Academic Consortium made up of six universities, including Indiana University Eppley. This consortium has partnered to build and deliver a shared certificate curriculum called "Leadership for Public Lands and Cultural Heritage." The program is designed to strengthen leadership and stewardship skills for a broad audience, including professionals in resource management organizations, federal and other governmental bureaus, and state and local institutions, along with university students from around the world who are preparing for careers connected to public lands and cultural heritage.
Under the project management approach described, the NPS provides financial assistance to Indiana University Eppley so it can coordinate and share resources across the consortium. Each university member is responsible for developing curriculum content for its assigned portion of the overall course of study, and the funding supports that distributed development model. Indiana University Eppley serves as the central manager and fiscal pass-through: it receives NPS funds and then distributes a specified amount to each consortium university according to the approved budget, specifically to complete course development tasks and meet registration requirements needed to launch the first cohort of the certificate program (targeted for August 2010). Indiana University Eppley is also responsible for overseeing the work to ensure the deliverables are completed on schedule, drawing on its prior experience collaborating with other educational institutions.
Because this is a cooperative agreement, the NPS is not only providing funding but also expects to be actively involved in shaping the project. The announcement notes that the NPS will provide extensive advice and input to Indiana University Eppley and the consortium, especially around identifying and addressing the leadership development needs of professionals working in public lands and cultural heritage settings. The NPS will also contribute personnel to participate on committees related to program oversight, delivery, and content, reinforcing the shared role in guiding the curriculum and how it is implemented.
Key administrative details include a posted and creation date of August 5, 2010, an original and current closing date of August 11, 2010, and an archive date of September 10, 2010. While eligible applicant types are listed as public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, the central point of the notice is that the award is intended for Indiana University Eppley to support the consortium effort without competition. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Heidi Sage (Contract Specialist, contractor) at 303-969-2378, with an NPS email referenced but not fully provided in the text.
