Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public "Notice of Intent to Award" for a discretionary education project titled "History and Civics Professional Development Series for Teachers." This notice is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the agency was not opening a competitive grant round. Instead, it served as formal public notification that NPS intended to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition.
The funding vehicle identified is a Cooperative Agreement (Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement), which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The specific agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P11AC40797, and the named partner (cooperator) is the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. While the brief listing does not provide the program curriculum or schedule, the title and activity category make clear that the funded work centers on professional development for teachers focused on history and civics, aligning with NPS educational and interpretive goals and likely leveraging the Tenement Museum's expertise and resources.
In terms of funding details, the total estimated amount was $37,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $37,000, indicating a single fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The opportunity anticipated one award (Expected Awards: 1). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility information is included largely as a standard data element, listing eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this was not a competitive solicitation and instead a notice tied to an identified cooperator, that eligibility field does not function as an open invitation to apply. The posting date and creation date were both September 1, 2011. The original and current closing date were September 6, 2011, and the archive date was September 7, 2011, reflecting a short public notice window consistent with an intent-to-award announcement rather than an open application period.
For additional information or for help accessing the full announcement attachment referenced in the notice, the contact listed was Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473. The listing notes "Lower East Side" in the contact area, consistent with the named cooperator, the Lower East Side Tenement Museum.
