Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Designing A Network Concept to Advance Innovation for Collaborative Conservation." This notice is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the general public. Instead, it serves as a public disclosure that NPS intends to move forward with funding a specific set of project activities through a continuation cooperative agreement, without full and open competition. In practical terms, the announcement functions as transparency about a planned award rather than an open grant competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0031 and is categorized as continuation funding using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The activity area is environmental work focused on collaborative conservation, and the announcement indicates there is expected to be only one award. The intended recipient is identified in the notice: Quebec Labrador Foundation/Atlantic Center for the Environment, Inc., under Task Agreement R181811A046 tied to Cooperative Agreement H1818060011. The purpose implied by the title and brief description is to develop a "network concept" that supports innovation and partnership-based approaches to conservation, suggesting work that helps organizations coordinate, share practices, and strengthen collaborative conservation efforts across participants rather than funding on-the-ground construction or direct resource management alone.
Financially, the total estimated funding is $29,580, with the award ceiling and award floor both set at $29,580, indicating the award amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement attached to this award. The listing shows an eligibility category of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education, but because this is not an open solicitation and the NPS is announcing an intent to award to a named cooperator, that eligibility statement is largely informational and does not mean other entities can compete for this specific funding under this notice.
The timeline reflects the limited administrative window typical of intent-to-award notices. The opportunity was posted and created on April 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 6, 2011, and an archive date of April 7, 2011. These dates reinforce that the posting was meant to document and communicate the planned action, not to provide a lengthy application period. For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the notice provides a point of contact: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056, particularly for issues accessing the attachment that contains the complete details.
