Outreach to Support Every Kid in the Park campaign and Urban Ranger Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "Outreach to Support Every Kid in the Park campaign and Urban Ranger Program" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01680) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on outreach connected to two NPS public engagement efforts: the Every Kid in a Park campaign and the Urban Ranger Program. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipated substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The announcement indicates the award would be made through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement, which is a common mechanism used within CESU networks to support research, technical assistance, education, and outreach partnerships.

A key point of this notice is that it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) that governs when and how noncompetitive financial assistance awards may be justified. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was publicly posting the notice to document the planned award and its basis, not to solicit proposals from other organizations.

The eligible applicant information reinforces this: the announcement explicitly states that the funding action is a single-source award to the University of Utah. While the general eligibility category is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the clarification provided in the source data makes clear that no broader applicant pool was being considered for this specific action. The posting included standard administrative details such as the funding instrument type (cooperative agreement), the CFDA program areas involved (15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs; and Resources of the National Park System), and the fact that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.

In terms of funding scale and timeline, the opportunity projected a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $27,283. The posting date and creation date were both August 28, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2015, and an archive date of October 6, 2015. The award floor and ceiling were both listed as $0, which can appear confusing but often shows up in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations with defined minimums/maximums for applicants to request. Here, because it was a predetermined noncompetitive action, the total estimated funding figure is the more meaningful number.

Finally, the notice provides a point of contact for access issues with the full announcement: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303. Overall, the posting functions primarily as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intended to issue a cooperative agreement task arrangement through the Rocky Mountain CESU to the University of Utah to support outreach activities tied to the Every Kid in a Park campaign and the Urban Ranger Program, rather than as a call for the public to apply for funding.
