Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Conduct Cultural Landscape Preservation Field School at Acadia National Park." This notice is strictly a public notification and not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not inviting new proposals or opening a competitive application process. Instead, NPS is stating its intent to fund specific project activities through a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement (H4503090700) between the NPS Northeast Region and The Research Foundation of the State University of New York. In practical terms, the award is being made without full and open competition because it is tied to an already established partnership vehicle.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under an education-related activity category, specifically within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program framework. The relevant CFDA listing is 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The notice indicates an expected single award, with no cost sharing or matching funds required from the recipient.
Funding for the project is fixed at an estimated total of $45,262, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $45,262, which signals that NPS had a defined budget for the work and was not considering variable award amounts. The posting date and creation date were February 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 7, 2012, and the item was archived on February 8, 2012. Because this was a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation, the short timeline is consistent with a public notice requirement rather than a period for collecting applications.
Eligibility is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the academic and training nature of a field school and with the CESU partnership model that commonly involves universities. However, since the notice specifies that the work would be funded under an existing cooperative agreement with SUNY's research foundation, the practical recipient was effectively predetermined.
For anyone needing the official details, NPS directed readers to consult the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. The contact person for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
