Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) offered a discretionary education-focused cooperative agreement titled "Outreach to Support Every Kid in the Park campaign and Urban Ranger Program" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00415). The opportunity was created on July 29, 2016, with an original application deadline of August 7, 2016. NPS anticipated making one award, with a maximum federal funding level (award ceiling) of $27,283.
The main purpose of the project is targeted outreach support for the Every Kid in the Park campaign, coordinated in partnership with Timpanogos Cave National Monument and the NPS Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance (RTCA) Program. Rather than funding construction or direct programming at a large scale, the work is primarily research and planning oriented: the recipient is expected to recruit and support a graduate student who will collaborate with NPS staff to identify schools that could benefit from Every Kid in the Park and to categorize those schools by location. In practical terms, this suggests assembling, organizing, and mapping school location information in a way that helps NPS and partners understand where eligible students are concentrated and where outreach efforts might be most needed or most effective.
Because the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, the project is structured for substantial involvement from the federal partner, meaning the NPS (including Timpanogos Cave NM and RTCA) would likely work closely with the recipient and the graduate student on defining data needs, refining categories, validating findings, and ensuring the final products are useful for outreach and engagement decisions. The listing also references the Urban Ranger Program in the title, indicating that the school-identification and categorization work may be intended to complement broader NPS strategies for connecting urban communities and youth to park resources and outdoor experiences, even if the central described task is specifically tied to Every Kid in the Park outreach planning.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with additional eligible entities as noted in the opportunitys eligibility clarification field. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, reflecting its placement within NPS assistance programming. Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a small, focused support award to place a graduate student in a collaborative role with NPS partners to produce actionable school-location intelligence that strengthens outreach for the Every Kid in the Park campaign and aligns with related NPS youth engagement efforts.
