Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent titled "Interpreting Climate Change" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI WASOR272220500). This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning it is not an open competition and is not inviting the public to submit proposals. Instead, it serves as advance public notice that NPS plans to make a single task agreement award under an existing cooperative agreement (P12AC31026) to a specified partner: Indiana University, Eppley Institute.
The planned work is described as "Interpretive Development Program Research and Best Practices for Interpreting Climate Change." In practical terms, this indicates an education-focused effort aimed at strengthening how climate change is communicated through NPS interpretation and related public-facing programs. The emphasis on research and best practices suggests the deliverables would likely include guidance, frameworks, training-oriented materials, or documented methods to help interpreters and educators present climate change information accurately, consistently, and effectively within the context of national parks and the National Park System.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding instrument type listed as a cooperative agreement and the activity category listed as education. NPS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000. The award ceiling is also $45,000, with an award floor of $0, indicating the funding was expected to be up to that maximum amount for the single planned task agreement. No cost sharing or matching is required.
The CFDA listing associated with the announcement is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the research/training and interpretive development focus described. Eligible applicants are identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; however, because this is a Notice of Intent tied to a planned award to a named institution under an existing cooperative agreement, that eligibility statement does not function as an invitation for new applicants in this case.
The notice was posted and created on August 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2012, and it was archived on September 7, 2012. For questions or for assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Sybil Winfield, Contracting Officer, at 303-969-2076 or sybilwinfield@nps.gov.
