Opportunity Summary:

Designing and Implementing A Network for Collaborative Conservation is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly announce the agencys intent to make a single, specific award. The notice is explicit that it is not a request for applications, meaning it is not a competitive grant opportunity and the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the general public. Instead, it serves as a transparency step to document that the NPS plans to proceed with a continuation-style cooperative agreement action tied to an existing partnership vehicle and a defined task agreement.

The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0112, categorized as continuation funding, and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements typically indicate that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity category is environment, and the program is associated with CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The posted and creation dates are August 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2013, and an archive date of August 21, 2013. Those dates function more like administrative posting windows for the notice rather than an application period, since the announcement is not inviting submissions.

Funding is shown as a single expected award in the amount of 75,000 dollars, with the award floor and ceiling both set at 75,000 dollars, which signals a fixed planned amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified. Eligibility in the listing is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, but in practical terms the notice specifies an intended recipient: Quebec Labrador Foundation/Atlantic Center for the Environment, Inc. The NPS states it intends to enter into Task Agreement P13AC01084 under an existing Cooperative Agreement P12AC30907 with that organization, and it also notes that this will be done without full and open competition, which is another way of saying the agency is proceeding with a noncompetitive continuation or sole-source type action within the bounds of its authorities and existing agreements.

In terms of what the project is about, the title and brief description indicate the work focuses on designing and implementing a network for collaborative conservation. While the public excerpt does not spell out detailed deliverables, the framing suggests building or strengthening a structured network that supports cooperative conservation efforts, likely involving coordination among partners, information sharing, outreach, and joint planning or implementation related to conservation, protection, and education goals consistent with NPS program objectives. The notice repeatedly points readers to the attachment under the full announcement for complete details on the project activities, implying that the specific scope, milestones, and roles were documented there.

For administrative questions or trouble accessing the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215 597 0056.
