Opportunity Information: Apply for P14AS00369

The Hands on Lands (HOL) initiative, with funding from the National Park Service (NPS) and managed by the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation (NEEF), aims to enhance environmental and STEM education through cooperative efforts between NPS and the U.S. Department of Education. The grant, totaling $400,000, is a continuation of previous funding and will support programs until September 30, 2015.

The HOL program connects students and educators with public lands, offering hands-on learning experiences that integrate local natural and historical resources. A key objective is to improve student interest and retention in STEM fields, particularly among students from Bureau of Indian Education tribal schools.

The initiative includes selecting five NPS units to provide afterschool STEM opportunities, training staff in environmental monitoring and citizen science, and developing collaborative projects that involve students in current conservation efforts. The NPS will play a significant role, coordinating program development, supporting schools, and fostering interactions between students and park experts.

The decision to fund this project without a competitive process is based on its status as a continuation of an existing successful initiative, which ensures continuity and addresses the need for a skilled STEM workforce. The partnership reflects a commitment to enhancing educational excellence and environmental stewardship in public lands.
