Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice for a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Expanding Education Innovation" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 16 NERO 0207). This notice is not an open call for proposals and should not be read as a request for applications. Instead, it serves primarily as a formal announcement that NPS intends to provide funding for specific project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the agency already plans to support the work without soliciting competing applications.
The award instrument identified for this opportunity is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally implies a funding relationship where the federal agency is expected to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Education, and the listing is associated with CFDA Number 15.954. While the eligibility field is broadly labeled as "Others" (with additional clarification referenced in a separate eligibility text field not included in the provided data), the key practical point is that the opportunity is not being competed, so typical applicant targeting and competitive eligibility considerations are less relevant than they would be for an open solicitation.
In terms of scale and timing, the anticipated funding level is relatively modest, with an award ceiling of $34,600 and an expectation of a single award. The notice was created on September 1, 2016, with an original closing date of September 11, 2016. Given the language emphasizing that it is not a request for applications, the closing date functions more as an administrative marker for the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a transparency and compliance posting: NPS is informing the public that it plans to fund an education-focused project under the "Expanding Education Innovation" title via a cooperative agreement, without conducting a competitive application process, and that it expects to make one award up to $34,600.
