Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Learning Center Climate and Resource Science Communication Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1580100341) is a discretionary National Park Service funding action intended to support natural resource-related work focused on climate and resource science communication assistance for an NPS learning center. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement issued through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the work is expected to be carried out in collaboration with the NPS rather than as a hands-off grant.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The announcement identifies Montana State University as the intended recipient, and the eligible applicant category is effectively limited by that single-source designation, even though the general eligibility field references "Others" with clarification in the additional eligibility information.
The posting and creation date for the notice are July 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2010, and an archive date of August 25, 2010. The estimated total funding amount listed is $35,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices that function primarily as an administrative public posting of intent rather than a competitive solicitation with defined award ranges. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which also aligns with the format of a notice of intent rather than a typical competitive opportunity where one or more awards are anticipated following proposal review.
Anyone needing access to the full announcement was directed to contact Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392, which suggests additional details about the scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and the specific learning center or communication products were provided in the attached announcement referenced in the notice.
