Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00662MOD1) is a National Park Service notice describing an intended, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using the cooperative agreement funding instrument, with its funding activity area listed under Natural Resources. The announcement makes clear that this posting is not an open call for proposals and is not seeking applications from the general public or from multiple institutions. Instead, it serves as a formal notice of intent to make a single-source award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a noncompetitive approach is permitted.
The planned award is for one recipient (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $40,282. The notice lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required financial match as a condition of receiving the federal funds. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which typically indicates that the standard competitive range fields are not being used in a meaningful way for this posting because it is not a competitive solicitation. The CFDA program listing associated with the opportunity is 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, reflecting the training and cooperative research orientation often associated with CESU agreements and NPS partnership work.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow and specific. While the general Eligible Applicants field is labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility note states plainly that this is a single source award to the University of Colorado Denver. In other words, this announcement functions more like a public record and transparency notice than a traditional grant competition; other applicants are not being invited to apply, and the NPS is indicating its intent to proceed with a specific partner organization.
Timing information included in the source data indicates the opportunity was posted and created on August 21, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2014, and an archive date of September 24, 2014. Those dates align with a notice-of-intent format, where a short posting window is often used to satisfy public notice requirements rather than to allow time for proposal development by prospective applicants. For further details, the notice points readers to an attached announcement, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
