Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development of Park Focused, Web Based Learning Resources for Coral Communities in the Changing Climate of Parks of the PACN Network" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources education and outreach, specifically aimed at helping park audiences understand coral communities and how climate change is affecting them within parks associated with the PACN network. The project centers on developing web-based learning resources that are tailored to national park settings, meaning the materials are intended to be park-relevant, accessible online, and useful for interpreting or communicating scientific information about coral ecosystems under changing environmental conditions.
This notice is not an open competition and is not seeking proposals from the general public. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent for a noncompetitive award, issued under Department of the Interior policy (DOI DM 505 2.12C), and it will be implemented through a task agreement modification under the National Park Service Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism. In practice, this means the NPS is planning to modify an existing cooperative agreement task arrangement rather than soliciting new applications, which is why the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, indicating that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, which is common for collaborative research, training, and education efforts connected to park resources. The opportunity lists one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,097. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which typically reflects that this is a pre-identified, single-source action rather than a competitive program with a range of possible award sizes.
Eligibility is effectively limited because this is a single-source award. The announcement identifies the intended recipient as the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Horn Point Laboratory. While the general eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others," the eligibility information clarifies that the funding announcement is not open and that the award is directed to that specific institution.
Administratively, the opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. Key dates show it was posted and created on August 31, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2011, and an archive date of October 2, 2011. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for a noncompetitive, already-identified award rather than a standard competitive grant cycle.
