Opportunity Summary:
The National Accessibility Technical Assistance and Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00252) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It sits under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.954. The purpose is to support work focused on accessibility in parks, recreation, and tourism settings, specifically through training, technical assistance, and research that helps improve access and inclusion for people with disabilities.
This opportunity is tied to an existing cooperative agreement relationship: Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00795 between the National Park Service and Indiana University. The work is carried out through Indiana Universitys National Center for Accessibility (NCA), which is positioned as the specialized entity providing expertise in accessibility practices, guidance, and applied research relevant to public lands and recreation environments. In practical terms, the agreement is meant to strengthen the capacity of parks and related recreation or tourism programs to meet accessibility needs through education, problem-solving support, and evidence-based approaches.
A key feature of this listing is that it is not open for competition. The posting explicitly states that NPS intends to enter into an agreement with the National Center for Accessibility without additional competition, and that no applications will be accepted. While the eligibility category noted is public and state controlled institutions of higher education, the intent language makes clear the award is directed to the named partner rather than being available to other universities or organizations through an open application process.
The anticipated funding level shown is relatively modest and targeted: an award ceiling of $100,000 with one expected award. The opportunity was created and posted on June 15, 2016, and the closing date fields repeat the same noncompetitive notice, reinforcing that this is essentially an announcement of an intended award/action rather than a solicitation inviting proposals.
Overall, this grant listing documents NPS support for a focused set of accessibility services and research delivered by Indiana University via the National Center for Accessibility, aimed at improving the accessibility of parks, recreation facilities, and tourism experiences through technical assistance, training programs, and related research activities.
