Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development of Park focused, Web based Learning Resources for Coral Communities in Changing Climate of Parks In PACN Network" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource education and outreach related to coral communities and climate change within parks associated with the PACN network. The project is framed around creating web-based learning resources that are specifically tailored to park settings, suggesting deliverables such as online modules, interpretive content, or other digital learning materials that help communicate how coral communities in these parks are being affected by changing climate conditions.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award through a task agreement modification under the National Park Service Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy authority for noncompetitive actions (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), indicating the award is being issued under an approved justification for single-source work within the CESU framework.
The opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project’s execution (for example, collaboration on content direction, review of materials, and coordination with park needs). The anticipated number of awards is one, and the only identified recipient is the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. The total estimated funding listed is $49,497, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing includes CFDA number 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, aligning the project with research, training, and educational support functions tied to NPS mission needs.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on June 4, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 11, 2012. Because it is not an open solicitation and is directed to a single institution, the closing date functions more as an administrative window for the public notice rather than a deadline for competitive submissions. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 301 432 7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
