Opportunity Summary:
The George Melendez Wright Climate Change Youth Initiative is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior as a Notice of Intent to Award. The key point of this notice is that it is not a request for applications and does not invite open competition. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS planned to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing cooperative agreement mechanism, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
This award was issued under Funding Opportunity Number NPS PWRP12AC15026 and uses a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, reflecting a partnership-style arrangement typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project. The project falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is connected to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The announcement indicates there was expected to be exactly one award, reinforcing that this was a directed funding action rather than a competitive grant cycle.
The intended recipient identified in the notice is the University of Washington, described as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (PNW CESU). The work was to be implemented through Task Agreement P12AC15026 under Cooperative Agreement H8W07110001. Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but in practice the notice explains the funding was planned for a specific partner without full and open competition, which is a common approach when work aligns with an established cooperative framework like a CESU and when NPS determines that a specific partner is uniquely positioned or already authorized under the agreement structure.
The total federal funding amount is fixed, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $420,315, meaning the anticipated award size was $420,315. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the recipient was not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The timeline in the notice is very short: it was posted and created on August 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2012, and it was archived on September 29, 2012. That short window is consistent with a notice meant to document an intended sole-source style award rather than to provide time for external applicants to prepare submissions.
