Opportunity Summary:
The Climate Change Education Partnership Alliance Office (CCEPA Office) grant opportunity was a National Science Foundation (NSF) funding call designed to create a central coordinating hub for a set of existing NSF-funded climate change education projects. In FY 2012, NSF funded six Phase II Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP II) projects, and the principal investigators (PIs), co-PIs, and key partners from those six awards collectively form what NSF describes as the CCEP network. The lead PIs from the six projects make up the CCEP Alliance (CCEPA), which was expected to meet regularly to surface shared needs, align efforts, and identify ways the projects could collaborate rather than operate in isolation. The CCEPA Office was the practical backbone for that alliance and network, intended to make the “networked approach” work day-to-day by providing consistent communication, coordination, and support services across all six projects.
At its core, the CCEPA Office was meant to function as a facilitator and integrator. NSF expected the office to keep information flowing among the participating CCEP II projects, help organize collaboration across projects, and actively nurture cross-project coordination so that the overall program would produce greater impact than the sum of individual grants. A specific example of this coordination role included assisting with data collection connected to a program-wide evaluation led by NSF, meaning the office would help standardize or streamline how information was gathered across the network so outcomes could be assessed in a consistent way. Another major function was dissemination: the office was expected to support the sharing of resources, tools, educational materials, and related products created by the CCEP II network with both the broader scientific community and the general public. Beyond internal coordination and outward dissemination, the office also had an explicit expectation to connect the CCEP II work to the wider climate change education community, helping ensure that lessons learned, materials developed, and collaborations formed did not stay confined to just the six projects.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity (NSF 13-513) fell under NSF’s Education and Human Resources activities (CFDA 47.076) and used a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, signaling a more substantial level of NSF involvement or partnership compared with a standard grant. NSF anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $1,000,000, effectively indicating one award at that level. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on November 7, 2012, with a required letter of intent due by December 6, 2012 (by 5 p.m. local time), and full proposals due February 5, 2013. The announcement is now archived (archive date November 20, 2013).
Eligibility was limited in an important way: organizations and individuals involved in the existing CCEP Phase II awards were not eligible to serve as the CCEPA Office awardee. In other words, the coordinating office had to be housed outside the six already-funded CCEP II projects to avoid conflicts of interest and to provide neutral coordination across the network. The listing also notes a PI limit and indicates “Others” under eligible applicants, with further clarification referenced in the eligibility text of the full announcement (NSF Publication 13-513). For access issues related to the full announcement, NSF directed applicants to grants.gov support via grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): NSF CCEPA Office (NSF 13-513)
What was the CCEPA Office grant opportunity?
The Climate Change Education Partnership Alliance Office (CCEPA Office) opportunity (NSF 13-513) was a National Science Foundation (NSF) funding call to create a central coordinating hub for a set of existing NSF-funded climate change education projects.
What problem was the CCEPA Office intended to solve?
It was designed to make a "networked approach" work in practice by providing consistent communication, coordination, and support across multiple projects, so the overall effort could produce greater impact than isolated, independent grants.
Which projects made up the network the CCEPA Office would support?
NSF funded six Phase II Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP II) projects in FY 2012. The principal investigators (PIs), co-PIs, and key partners from those six awards collectively formed the CCEP network.
What is the CCEP Alliance (CCEPA)?
The CCEP Alliance (CCEPA) consisted of the lead PIs from the six CCEP II projects. NSF expected them to meet regularly to surface shared needs, align efforts, and identify collaboration opportunities.
How did the CCEPA Office relate to the CCEP Alliance and the CCEP network?
The CCEPA Office was the practical backbone for the alliance and network, intended to facilitate day-to-day coordination and communication across all six CCEP II projects and help translate alliance-level goals into operational collaboration.
What were the core roles of the CCEPA Office?
The office was meant to function as a facilitator and integrator by keeping information flowing among projects, organizing collaboration across projects, and actively nurturing cross-project coordination.
What kinds of coordination activities did NSF expect from the CCEPA Office?
NSF expected the office to support regular communication and coordination across the six projects and help the projects collaborate rather than operate in isolation.

What was the dissemination role of the CCEPA Office?
The office was expected to support sharing of resources, tools, educational materials, and related products developed by the CCEP II network with the broader scientific community and the general public.
Did the CCEPA Office have responsibilities beyond the six funded projects?
Yes. The office had an explicit expectation to connect the CCEP II work to the wider climate change education community so that lessons learned, materials, and collaborations extended beyond the six projects.
Which NSF area and CFDA program did this opportunity fall under?
The opportunity fell under NSF Education and Human Resources activities and was listed under CFDA 47.076.
What type of award instrument was used?
