Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Implement and Expand Conservation Leadership Initiative for Urban Agenda" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0148), is a National Park Service notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement rather than an open call for proposals. In plain terms, it is not a request for applications and was posted mainly to satisfy public transparency requirements. The National Park Service (within the U.S. Department of the Interior) is signaling its intention to move forward with a specific task agreement (P13AC01420) under an existing cooperative agreement (P12AC30907) with a named partner organization: Quebec Labrador Foundation/Atlantic Center for the Environment, Inc.
The funding mechanism is listed as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the work as it is carried out, as opposed to a typical grant where the recipient operates more independently. The activity area is Environment and Natural Resources, and it falls under CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The project focus implied by the title points to conservation leadership work connected to the "Urban Agenda," suggesting efforts that link conservation priorities with urban communities, likely through outreach, education, leadership development, and collaborative conservation approaches that bring NPS priorities into closer alignment with city-based partners and audiences.
Financially, the notice indicates a single anticipated award with total estimated funding of $100,000. The award floor and ceiling are both $100,000, which typically indicates a fixed, predetermined amount for this continuation action rather than a range that could change based on applicant budgets. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility information shows the relevant category as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a continuation notice and not open competition, that eligibility detail is more descriptive than actionable; the practical reality is that the NPS intends to fund the specific cooperator already identified in the notice rather than solicit new applicants. The announcement was posted on September 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 17, 2013, and an archive date of September 18, 2013, reflecting that this was a short administrative posting window tied to documenting the intent to award.
For anyone seeking additional documentation, the notice indicates that full details are provided in an attachment available under the "Full Announcement" section of the posting. If there are issues accessing that material, the listed point of contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at (215) 597-0056. Overall, the key takeaway is that this listing is essentially a public notice that NPS planned to continue or execute a defined scope of work with an existing nonprofit partner to implement and expand a conservation leadership initiative aligned with NPS collaborative conservation and urban engagement priorities, funded at $100,000 through a cooperative agreement.
