Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, intent to make a single cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Combining Climate Change Research and Education across an Iconic Transect: The Appalachian Trail, Acadia National Park." The key point is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award, not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, the NPS is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, the announcement is meant to provide transparency that the agency plans to fund specific project activities through a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement (H1700060002) with the Schoodic Education and Research Center (SERC) Institute.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement, with the activity focus listed under education. The practical purpose, as stated in the source data, is to fund a workshop through the SERC Institute that connects climate change research and education along an "iconic transect" associated with the Appalachian Trail and Acadia National Park. While the brief listing does not provide technical details on curriculum, research methods, or participant audiences, the framing strongly suggests an integrated effort where climate change science conducted or synthesized in/around these landscapes is paired with educational programming, likely to improve interpretation, training, or public and partner understanding of climate impacts in these park-related environments.
Financially, the NPS anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are set at $60,000, indicating a fixed planned award size rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal match for this specific funding action. Eligibility is listed as nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education; however, because the award is being made without full and open competition under an existing agreement, this eligibility information functions more as a standard grants.gov classification than an invitation for new applicants.
The timeline shown reflects the administrative posting and archiving dates rather than a window for submissions. The opportunity was posted and created on February 8, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 14, 2012, and an archive date of February 15, 2012. Those dates align with the fact that there is no application process for outside parties; the short "closing" period is typical for notices whose primary purpose is public posting rather than proposal collection.
For anyone trying to locate the formal supporting documentation, the announcement indicates that complete details are contained in an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link on grants.gov. For access issues, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
