Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a place-based education partnership connected to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, Vermont. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not opening a competitive grant round or soliciting proposals from the public. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to publicly document the agency's intention to provide additional federal funding to an existing cooperative agreement already in place with Woodstock Union High School (WUHS) in Woodstock, Vermont.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0064 and falls within the discretionary category, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project, which fits an education partnership tied to a specific national park site. The activity category is education, and the announcement indicates the action is a modification to an existing agreement to add funds, rather than the creation of a brand-new award.
The funding details are very specific and fixed. The NPS anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $32,916. Both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $32,916, which signals there is no funding range and no flexibility in the total amount being added under this modification. The posting also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement, even though the notice itself does not spell out the matching percentage or the form it must take.
Eligibility is narrowly framed. The eligible applicant type is "Independent school districts," and the eligibility information further clarifies that this is a noncompetitive intent to award, with the recipient being an independent school district. In practice, that aligns with naming Woodstock Union High School as the partner under the existing cooperative agreement. Because the notice is not competitive, other school districts or organizations are not being invited to apply, and there is no application package to submit through Grants.gov for consideration.
The timeline reinforces that this was an administrative public notice rather than an open funding opportunity. The posting date and creation date are June 26, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2012, and the archive date of July 2, 2012. Those dates function more like the window during which the notice is visible and formally posted than like a true deadline for applicants, since the NPS is not accepting applications for this action.
Anyone seeking more detail is directed to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link (as referenced in the notice). For access issues or administrative questions, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The notice also points users to Grants.gov help resources for general navigation or grants-related guidance, although in this case the central point remains that the award is intended as a sole-source modification to fund specific project activities under an already-established partnership at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park.
