Opportunity Summary:
The Canal Classrooms Corps Teacher Program (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00084) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice related to education and natural resource stewardship (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). The stated purpose is the continuation of an existing effort to provide qualified and experienced educators with high-quality professional development through the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park's education program. In practical terms, the program supports professional learning experiences that help educators strengthen their knowledge and skills, likely with an emphasis on using the C and O Canal NHP as an educational setting and resource, connecting classroom instruction to park-based history, natural resources, and stewardship themes.
This announcement is not an open call for new applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that NPS intended to continue funding project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency planned to maintain support for an existing partner or arrangement rather than solicit proposals from the broader public. The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in carrying out the supported activities (for example, jointly planning, coordinating, or delivering educator development programming).
Eligibility, as stated in the notice, was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting date was April 3, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 13, 2015, and an archive date of May 3, 2015. The notice lists an estimated total funding amount, award ceiling, and award floor all as $0, which commonly appears in continuation or notice-only postings where the agency is announcing intent rather than competing or specifying a new funding amount through Grants.gov.
For additional details, the notice referenced Grants.gov and provided a point of contact at NPS: Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer (301-663-1481 x5, ritamihalik@nps.gov).
