Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher Program additional funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00608 1) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service (NPS) intended to provide added support for the Teacher Ranger Teacher (TRT) Program. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to carry out research, training, and related public benefit work tied to natural and cultural resource stewardship in the National Park System. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to National Park System resources.
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 single-source, noncompetitive award, consistent with the Department of the Interior guidance at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The only intended recipient identified in the announcement is the University of Colorado Denver. Because the award is noncompetitive and already directed to a specific institution, other organizations are not being solicited to apply, even though the general eligibility field references "Others" with additional clarification in the full announcement.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $121,768. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which typically indicates that the funding amount and terms are defined through the specific task agreement and accompanying documentation rather than through a standard competitive range.
The posting date and creation date are both August 27, 2015. The original and current closing date is September 5, 2015, with an archive date of October 5, 2015. In practice, the "closing date" in a notice-of-intent context generally serves as an administrative timeline for publishing and finalizing the intended award rather than a deadline for public application submissions.
For access issues with the full announcement or supporting materials, the public point of contact provided is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
