Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIPWR8110110022, is a National Park Service discretionary funding announcement focused on supporting the day-to-day implementation of research and education programs connected to three Southern California park units: Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, Cabrillo National Monument, and Channel Islands National Park. The work is framed around the Southern California Research Learning Center and the Mediterranean Coast Network of Parks, with the intent of strengthening research capacity and expanding educational programming that benefits these parks and their associated audiences.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expected to be actively involved in the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as "Implementing Research and Educational Programs," which signals that the funding is meant to support practical execution of ongoing or planned program elements rather than, for example, a single narrow research experiment or a stand-alone construction effort.
Programmatically, the scope includes tasks tied to implementing research and educational projects and programs. Examples specifically called out include educational fellowships, internships, the use of faculty advisors, and scientific studies. In practice, that combination points to a blend of workforce development (training students and early-career participants through fellowships and internships), academic partnership support (faculty advising), and applied research activities (scientific studies) that can inform park management, resource stewardship, and public education. The emphasis on a "research learning center" context suggests an approach where research and education are linked: studies conducted in or about the parks feed into learning opportunities for participants and can also translate into interpretive or educational outputs.
Funding was limited to a single expected award, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $25,000, indicating a fixed-size award rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute cash or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. The eligible applicant type is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and the eligibility information names the Santa Monica Mountains Foundation as the eligible applicant. That suggests the opportunity was effectively a targeted or partner-specific award intended for that organization to carry out these implementation tasks in coordination with the National Park Service.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted and created on December 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 15, 2010, and an archive date of January 14, 2011. Those dates indicate a very short application window, consistent with a planned cooperative agreement with a specific partner rather than a broad, highly competitive open solicitation. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 ("Not Elsewhere Classified"), which is sometimes used when the listing does not map cleanly to a single standard assistance program category.
For access or assistance with the full announcement at the time, the contact listed was Lilette Baltodano, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 510-817-1338.
