Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a Notice of Intent for a cooperative agreement task agreement titled "All Hazards Resource Advisor Online Training Curriculum Development" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI WASO R2360111019). This opportunity is not an open solicitation or a competitive grant round. Instead, it announces the federal government’s intent to make a single-source, non-competitive award under the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement (H500002A271), using the Department of the Interior’s authority and procedures described in 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, the announcement functions more like public notice and documentation of a planned award than an invitation for multiple applicants to apply.
The core purpose of the project is to coordinate the development and rollout of a three-part training program for All Hazards Resource Advisors (AH READs). AH READs are specialists who support incident management efforts by advising on how to protect natural and cultural resources during emergencies and response operations. The project builds on earlier work that created a basic, classroom-based training course and expands it into a broader blended training system. The planned training package includes: (1) an initial basic online training tool to provide foundational instruction in an accessible format, (2) a set of advanced online training modules to deepen and extend skills beyond the basics, and (3) an in-person, scenario-based training curriculum designed to apply concepts in realistic incident situations. The emphasis is not only on producing curriculum content, but also on deploying the training tools so they are usable by the intended audience.
A key component of the work is capturing operational experience from the field. The project will compile lessons learned from AH READs who were previously deployed on real incidents occurring between 2009 and 2011. Those after-action insights are intended to directly inform the training materials so that the curriculum reflects real-world challenges, effective practices, and gaps identified during actual emergency response events. This approach suggests the training will be grounded in practical case experience, not just theory or policy.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the award is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement instrument type, with an education activity focus. The estimated total funding listed is $79,698, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The announcement lists eligible applicants generally as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but the eligibility section makes clear this is not a request for applications and that the award is intended as a single-source agreement to Texas A&M University. The posting date and creation date are July 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2011, and an archive date of August 17, 2011.
