Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "NOI I LEAD Inc for Curriculum and Professional Development" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS2820120024NOI) is a discretionary National Park Service education initiative announced as a Notice of Intent (NOI) only. In practical terms, that means it is not a broad, open competition where many organizations submit proposals for review. Instead, it signals the Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, intends to make a single cooperative agreement award to specific partners: I LEAD Inc. and I LEAD Charter School. The planned work centers on developing curriculum and providing professional development focused on the role and experiences of Hispanics in the Civil War, with the larger purpose of improving public access to higher-quality educational materials and encouraging stewardship connected to the national park system.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. This distinction matters because it generally indicates a closer working relationship between the National Park Service and the recipient during the project, often involving substantial involvement by the agency in planning, coordination, review, or implementation. The activity category is Education, and the listing references CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, which aligns with the goal of interpreting and disseminating historically grounded content that supports resource understanding and public engagement.
Funding details show an estimated total of $40,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and an award floor of $0, indicating the planned single award is expected to be up to the full $40,000 amount. The opportunity anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a specific percentage or dollar amount of non-federal contributions as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Even though that is the formal eligibility category, the NOI language makes clear the National Park Service is planning an award to the named organizations rather than soliciting competing applications. The posting date and creation date are both June 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 9, 2012, and an archive date of July 9, 2012, reflecting a very short public notice window consistent with an intent-to-award announcement.
For access issues or questions tied to the announcement, the contact provided is Sybil Winfield, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 303-969-2076 or by email at sybilwinfield@nps.gov.
