Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a cooperative agreement tied to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, focused on innovation transfer and organizational learning with an emphasis on increasing collaboration and youth engagement in the public sector. The key point is that it is not a competitive funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public transparency notice that NPS intends to fund a specific project with a specific partner without full and open competition.
The planned recipient is The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, identified as a public, state-controlled institution of higher education. The mechanism referenced is a task agreement under a cooperative agreement, which generally signals an active partnership role for NPS during project performance rather than a hands-off grant. The award is listed as a single expected award, meaning no other organizations should anticipate being considered under this announcement.
The project activity described centers on research and synthesis of best practices in public sector innovation transfer and organizational learning. In practical terms, the work is aimed at gathering, analyzing, and distilling lessons from existing models of how public agencies adopt new ideas, spread effective practices, and learn as organizations, then packaging those findings in a way that supports collaboration and helps engage younger people in public-sector work. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification that the announcement is specifically a non-competitive notice of intent to award.
Financially, the total estimated funding is $26,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $26,000, indicating a fixed expected award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The associated CFDA program is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which aligns with the park service mission and suggests the work contributes to learning, outreach, and capacity-building rather than construction or land acquisition.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity number is NPS 12 NERO 0113, and it was posted on August 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2012, and an archive date of August 8, 2012. In notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as a posting window for the public record rather than a deadline for applicants, since applications are not being solicited. Anyone needing access to the full announcement attachment is directed to contact Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at NPS, by phone at 215-597-6476.
