Opportunity Summary:
The Channel Islands Live grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00265) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is a discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement in the education activity category under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). Importantly, this notice is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS intends to make a single award without full and open competition.
The intended recipient is the Ventura County Office of Education (VCOE), which fits the listed eligible applicant type (county governments). NPS is proposing this noncompetitive award because VCOE has a long-standing, established partnership with Channel Islands National Park and brings a specific mix of strengths that NPS considers difficult to replicate through a competitive process. Those strengths include extensive educational programming experience, technical capacity to deliver distance learning, familiarity with park resources due to geographic proximity, and a proven track record of distributing park programming reliably at high quality.
The project purpose is to continue and strengthen a long-term collaboration that promotes stewardship of natural and cultural resources through outreach and education. The work centers on delivering and expanding distance learning and other educational programming that helps fulfill the park mission of "bringing the park to the people." The notice emphasizes that VCOE can reach all 22 school districts in Ventura County and has the capability to extend programming nationally and internationally, supporting broad public access to park-based learning opportunities.
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $41,854 and indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice was posted on September 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2013, and an archive date of September 20, 2013.
