Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher Program Curriculum Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00474) is a discretionary funding action the National Park Service (NPS) planned to carry out through a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources education and training. The intent of the award is to support curriculum-related work connected to the NPS Teacher Ranger Teacher Program, and it is being implemented through a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The CESU framework is commonly used by DOI agencies to partner with universities and other organizations for research, technical assistance, and education or training activities that align with public land and resource stewardship goals.
This notice is explicitly not a standard, open grant competition. It is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which covers circumstances where an agency can make an award without full and open competition. The eligibility section makes that point clear by stating the announcement is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is the University of Colorado Denver. While the general eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," the announcement clarifies that this specific funding action is directed to a single organization rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
In terms of funding and administrative details, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $675,625, with an expected number of awards equal to one. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which typically indicates that the posting is serving more as a formal public notice of intent than as a competitive solicitation with defined per-award bounds. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The opportunity was posted and created on May 30, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 4, 2013, and an archive date of July 4, 2013, reflecting a short public notice window consistent with a noncompetitive intent announcement rather than a traditional application period.
For anyone trying to access the full announcement materials or encountering issues retrieving the attached documents, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
