Opportunity Summary:
The Alaska Native Education and National Park Service (NPS) Recruitment Program is a National Park Service funding action announced as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for proposals and does not invite applications from the public. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS planned to make a single cooperative agreement award to a specific recipient for defined project activities. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding, with an anticipated single award.
The intended recipient is the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), Department of Alaska Native and Rural Development. The total anticipated federal funding amount is $35,000, with no cost share or matching requirement. The award is identified as a new award (not a continuation), structured as a cooperative agreement with an anticipated five-year term. The expected period of performance runs from April 9, 2010 through September 30, 2014.
Programmatically, the project centers on Alaska Native education and building a recruitment pathway into the National Park Service workforce. Key activities described include co-sponsoring an annual seminar and developing a recruitment program intended to connect rural Alaskans, particularly Alaska Native adult students and community leaders, with the mission, values, and role of the NPS in Alaska. The broader purpose is to strengthen understanding of NPS responsibilities and, through education and outreach, encourage greater participation and interest in NPS-related work and public land stewardship.
The legal authority cited for the cooperative agreement and funding support includes several statutes. First, 16 U.S.C. 1a-2(j) authorizes the NPS to enter into cooperative agreements with educational institutions using appropriated funds to carry out NPS programs. The announcement also references the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), specifically 16 U.S.C. 3119, which directs the NPS (on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior) to use cooperative agreements to help carry out subsistence-related purposes and the use of public lands in Alaska. The notice further links the seminar and recruitment work to ANILCA provisions described as Section 1308 (Local Recruitment) and Section 1318 (Statewide Cultural Assistance Program). In addition, it cites the National Historic Preservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 470a(j)(2)(C), as authority for providing financial assistance for historic preservation education at colleges with high Native American enrollment.
This award is described as a single-source action justified by the unique qualifications of UAFs Department of Alaska Native and Rural Development. The notice states that the department is specifically designed to reach rural Alaskan and Alaska Native adult learners through distance education (telecom-based classes) and intensive week-long seminars, and that it is the only educational institution in Alaska established to deliver this particular type of education to rural Alaskans. The department is also noted as offering both bachelors and masters level programs, serving a student population described as approximately 85 percent Alaska Native, all adults, with many serving as leaders in their home communities. These attributes are presented as the reason the NPS selected UAF for the work rather than seeking competing applications.
Administrative details in the announcement include the funding opportunity number H9922101002 and a CFDA listing of 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified). The posting date is March 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 3, 2010, and an archive date of May 3, 2010, reflecting the time window for public notice rather than an application deadline. The NPS point of contact is Erica Cordeiro, Contract Specialist, reachable by email at EricaCordeiro@nps.gov and by phone at 907-644-3303.
