Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Marsh Billings Rockefeller NHP Lessons in Leadership: Applying Developmental Evaluation to Examine Leadership and Organizational Culture in the Public Sector." The key point is that it is not a request for applications and not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, NPS is publicly posting its intent to make a single, non-competitive award under an existing cooperative agreement framework.
The planned award will be issued as a cooperative agreement action through Task Agreement P13AC00873 with the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College (UVM), operating under an already-established Cooperative Agreement P12AC31053. The project focus, as reflected in the title, centers on lessons in leadership connected to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and the use of developmental evaluation methods to better understand leadership practices and organizational culture within public-sector settings. Developmental evaluation is typically used to support learning and adaptation in complex initiatives, so the project is positioned as a learning-oriented examination rather than a simple summative assessment.
Funding is fixed and limited to one award. The estimated total funding is $45,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $45,000, meaning NPS anticipated a single award for that exact amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement or collaboration in carrying out the project activities.
Eligibility is not broadly open because the announcement is meant to document a single-source decision. The only eligible applicant type specified is a public and state-controlled institution of higher education, and the eligibility language clarifies this is a single-source award to such an institution, specifically UVM. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which signals alignment with NPS education and outreach-related objectives even though the topical emphasis here is leadership and organizational culture.
The notice was posted July 16, 2013, with a very short public notice window reflected by the original and current closing date of July 21, 2013, and an archive date of July 22, 2013. Those dates function more as a posting period for transparency rather than a true application deadline, since submissions are not being solicited. For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
