Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to award a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement for a youth education program connected to Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial (PEVI). It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not seeking proposals from the public and is instead signaling that it plans to fund a specific partner without an open competition process. The opportunity is framed under humanities and cultural affairs (CFDA 15.406) and is administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service.
The planned project is the Centennial Youth Maritime Explorers Program, developed in collaboration with the Put-in-Bay Chamber of Commerce. The program is designed as a full-day, hands-on camp experience focused on maritime themes and park-related learning. It was scheduled to launch in June 2016 and run again in 2017, timed to coincide with a special event: the visit of the U.S. Brig Niagara. Across the two years, the program aims to serve a total of 300 youth per year, providing an immersive day program that blends experiential learning with place-based education tied to the memorial and surrounding maritime setting.
A central goal of the program is to broaden access and representation by prioritizing students from underrepresented and underserved populations. The targeted recruitment area includes the greater Toledo and Sandusky regions in Ohio, as well as the Detroit metropolitan area in Michigan. In practice, this means the program is not simply an on-site interpretive activity for visitors already at the park, but an outreach-oriented initiative intended to bring in youth who may face barriers to participating in similar educational experiences.
Implementation is described as a joint effort. PEVI staff are expected to work directly with the Put-in-Bay Chamber of Commerce and its Maritime Celebration planning committee to plan, organize, and carry out the camps. River Raisin National Battlefield Park is also listed as a participating partner, contributing to the overall experience, which suggests coordinated interpretive content and staffing support across NPS sites. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), it also implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in project execution, such as collaborative planning, shared responsibilities, and active participation in program delivery.
Program content is organized around multiple learning stations that cover a mix of historical, practical, and stewardship topics. The stations are expected to include education about the park itself, maritime history, water safety, and the importance of protecting environmental resources and cultural resources. Taken together, the camp appears structured to connect youth not only to local and national maritime heritage, but also to safety awareness and conservation ethics, reinforcing the NPS mission of public education and resource stewardship.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding opportunity number is NOIP16AC00505, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2016. The anticipated award is a single award (expected awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $52,000. The eligible applicants field is broadly labeled "Others," with the key practical detail being that the award is intended for a specific collaborative arrangement rather than an open competition. The notice was created and posted on June 10, 2016, indicating a short public notification window consistent with an intent-to-award announcement rather than a competitive solicitation.
