Opportunity Summary:
The Crater Lake Science and Learning Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP11AT80598) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice tied to natural resource stewardship work at Crater Lake. Rather than being an open call for proposals, it functions as a formal notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award. The NPS indicates that the award will be issued as a Task Agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (H9320061020), meaning the work is expected to be carried out within the framework of an ongoing partnership arrangement rather than through a new, stand-alone competitive grant process.
This opportunity is categorized as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals a collaborative relationship where the federal agency is expected to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordination, technical guidance, or shared responsibilities), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient generally carries out the work more independently. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA program associated with it is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which aligns with projects that support resource management, science, research, monitoring, education, and stewardship priorities in units of the National Park System.
The announcement specifies that the award is noncompetitive under Departmental Manual authority DM 505 2.12C. In practical terms, that language is used to justify a single-source selection rather than conducting a competition, usually because there is a compelling rationale such as unique qualifications, an established partnership mechanism, continuity of specialized work, or other factors recognized under the Department of the Interior's policies. The notice also emphasizes that it is not a request for applications, and that the intended recipient is Southern Oregon University. The "Eligible Applicants" field is therefore not meant to invite broad submission; it simply reflects that the award is directed to a specific entity identified in the notice.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $47,390, with an award ceiling also set at $47,390, and an expectation of one award. A cost sharing or matching requirement is marked as "Yes," indicating the recipient is expected to contribute matching funds or in-kind support as part of the overall project cost structure, consistent with many cooperative agreement arrangements. Key administrative dates show the posting date as July 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2011, and an archive date of August 4, 2011, reflecting that the notice was primarily informational and time-bound for administrative processing rather than a longer competitive application window.
