Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Climbing Exhibit, Centennial Traveling Exhibit" (Funding Opportunity Number P12AS10864) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on education under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The project is designed to support the NPS education mission by developing interpretive content that helps the public build intellectual and emotional connections with Denali, specifically through the story of the first successful ascent of Mount McKinley (Denali). The timing is tied to the 2013 centennial marking 100 years since that first climb, and the exhibit is intended to be a key educational component of the park's broader centennial programming.
The planned work centers on a portable, hands-on interpretive exhibit created in partnership with the Alaska Geographic Association (also referenced as Alaska Geographic, AKGEO). The exhibit is expected to combine written narrative material with interactive elements and to draw on research and materials developed through earlier collaborations between NPS and AKGEO. It is first scheduled for display at the Eielson Visitor Center during the 2013 anniversary period. After the centennial year, the exhibit is intended to move to Talkeetna and then continue as a traveling exhibit, extending its reach beyond a single location and allowing more communities and visitors to engage with Denali's climbing history over time. The exhibit is also meant to complement other centennial products and events led by the park and its partners, creating a coordinated set of educational experiences around the climbing legacy.
This opportunity is structured as a continuation award rather than an open, widely competitive solicitation. The notice explains that the activity being funded is necessary to complete, or is a direct continuation of, work already being funded, and that introducing competition at this stage would significantly disrupt continuity or completion. It also identifies unique qualifications held by AKGEO as a key rationale for the intended partnership: through prior work with NPS on education products, AKGEO brings specialized knowledge of the mountain and mountaineering history, along with practical access to relevant existing materials that would be difficult or inefficient to replicate through a new provider.
Funding for the project is fixed at a total of $26,555, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $26,555, indicating a single expected award at a predetermined amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity anticipates one award and identifies eligible applicants as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), consistent with the named partner organization. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 13, 2012, and an archive date of August 12, 2012. The listed agency is the National Park Service, and the contact for access issues is Tina Spengler, Contract Specialist, at 907-644-3303.
