Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive award to support education-focused planning and curriculum development connected to Mount Rainier. The opportunity is titled "Developing Implementation Plan and Curriculum for the Mount Rainier Institute at the Center for Sustainable Forestry at Pack Forest" and is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a request for applications and is instead a public announcement that the NPS plans to fund a specific project with a specific partner without going through a full and open competitive process.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement under Task Agreement number P12AC10608, which sits under a broader Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110011). The intended recipient is the University of Washington, participating as a partner through the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The activity category is Education, and the relevant CFDA listing is 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at building the groundwork for a Mount Rainier Institute presence at the Center for Sustainable Forestry at Pack Forest, with deliverables centered on an implementation plan and curriculum materials rather than on-the-ground construction or operational programming.
Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $30,000, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $30,000, reflecting an expectation of one fixed-size award. The notice also states that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is anticipated, and eligibility is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, though the text makes clear that the NPS already intends to fund the University of Washington under the existing cooperative framework rather than solicit new proposals.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted and created on June 21, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2012, and an archive date of July 22, 2012. Those dates reinforce the nature of the posting as a formal public notice rather than a typical open application window. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at (415) 623-2251.
