Notice of Intent to Award Marsh Billings Rockefeller NHP Innovation Transfer and Organizational Learning Applying Developmental Evaluation in the Public Sector | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award, issued by the United States Department of the Interior. It is important to understand that it is not a call for proposals and not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it is a public notification that NPS plans to move forward with a single, pre-identified awardee for a specific set of project activities. The announcement title indicates the work is connected to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (NHP) and focuses on innovation transfer, organizational learning, and the application of developmental evaluation methods in the public sector.

The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final deliverable. The project is categorized under "Information and Statistics," which fits an initiative centered on evaluation practice, learning systems, and methods that help agencies gather insight from ongoing work and adapt in real time. The award is tied to CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, placing it within NPS programming that supports public engagement, stewardship, and educational outcomes, even when the immediate work involves internal learning and evaluation capacity.

The notice states that NPS intends to make a non-competitive, single-source award through a task agreement with the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College (UVM). Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but the eligibility section clarifies that this specific action is intended as a single-source/non-competitive award to that category of institution, meaning it is effectively reserved for the named partner rather than open to other universities or organizations.

Financially, the announcement sets an estimated total funding amount of $80,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $80,000, indicating NPS expects to make one award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible awards. The notice anticipates exactly one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the agreement.

The posting date and creation date are both February 13, 2013. The original and current closing dates are February 19, 2013, and the archive date is February 20, 2013. In this context, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for public notice rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the notice explicitly says applications are not being requested. Anyone seeking the complete details is directed to the attachment available through the full announcement link (as hosted on Grants.gov at the time).

For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement, the point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, a Contract/Agreements Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also points users to general Grants.gov help resources for navigation and generic grants information, though this particular posting is not intended to generate submissions from the public.
