Opportunity Information: Apply for P14AS00184
The "Engaging and Teaching Citizens in Stewardship of Night Skies" grant opportunity involves funding for a project between the National Park Service (NPS) and Colorado State University (CSU) aimed at training citizen volunteers through the Night Sky Ambassador Program. The program seeks to enhance public education about light pollution, its effects, and solutions to minimize it, while promoting stargazing and appreciation for dark skies.
The anticipated funding is $38,778, with a project duration extending until August 31, 2015. This initiative builds on prior successful efforts, with a focus on engaging youth and public audiences about the importance of preserving natural night skies.
Key objectives include developing training materials and communication tools for volunteers, coordinating their activities, and fostering collaborations with other educational entities. The NPS will play a significant role by supporting recruitment, providing resources, and contributing to training development.
The grant is classified under single source justification due to its continuation nature, following an earlier cooperative agreement. The statutory authority under which the NPS operates allows for such awards to educational institutions for public benefit programs.Apply for P14AS00184
