Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher Program (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00662) is a discretionary funding action the National Park Service planned to make through a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Rather than being an open competition, it was published as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source task agreement award, issued in line with the Department of the Interior guidance cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, this means the agency was publicly documenting its intent to fund a specific partner for this work, not inviting proposals from the general public.
The opportunity is tied to the National Park System and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with the associated CFDA listing 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The total estimated funding amount listed for the action is $655,085, with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so the recipient was not expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was effectively limited because the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and identifies the University of Colorado Denver as the intended recipient for this single-source award. While the general eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others" (with a note to see additional eligibility information), the controlling detail is that the funding announcement was not meant to solicit competing applications and instead served as formal notice that the work would be awarded to that specific university partner under the CESU mechanism.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on May 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 25, 2014, and an archive date of June 24, 2014. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with notices of intent for noncompetitive awards, since the purpose is generally transparency and documentation rather than giving applicants time to prepare submissions.
For anyone unable to access the full announcement materials electronically, the listed point of contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
