Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00608) is a discretionary funding action administered by the National Park Service (NPS) under the Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. It is associated with the Natural Resources activity category and falls under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The announcement was posted on May 5, 2015, with an original and final closing date of May 14, 2015, and it was later archived on June 13, 2015.
This notice is not an open, competitive solicitation and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award through a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive approach is cited as being consistent with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was formally documenting its intent to fund the work through the CESU mechanism rather than inviting proposals from the broader public.
The only expected award is one, and the intended recipient is the University of Colorado Denver. While the general eligibility category in the listing is labeled broadly as "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility details, the eligibility statement clarifies that this particular funding action is a single-source award and therefore not available for other entities to apply. The estimated total funding amount listed for the action is $452,033. The posting shows no award ceiling or award floor (both listed as $0), which typically indicates that specific financial parameters are handled within the task agreement documents rather than expressed as a competitive range in the public synopsis. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
