Opportunity Summary:
The Park Science Summit Public Engagement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00387) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency has already identified the intended recipient and funding pathway.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement within the Environment and Natural Resources activity area, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000 and an expectation of a single award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. Although the eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the notice makes clear that the intended partner is the University of California, Berkeley, working under the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. The project is tied to Task Agreement P14AC01785 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676), indicating it is an add-on or continuation action under a pre-established agreement mechanism rather than a new competitive grant.
In practical terms, the purpose of posting this notice is transparency. NPS is documenting its intent to fund the Park Science Summit Public Engagement project through a noncompetitive process, likely because the work aligns with specialized capabilities, an ongoing partnership, or an existing CESU agreement that supports collaborative research, training, and public engagement connected to national park resources. The announcement was posted and created on September 17, 2014, and archived on September 24, 2014. Because it is not a request for applications, there is no application deadline (the closing date is listed as "This is not a request for applications"), and outside organizations are not being invited to submit proposals for consideration.
For anyone trying to locate the official posting or supporting materials, the notice references Grants.gov as the source (with an additional information link provided). Questions about access to the full announcement are directed to the listed NPS contact: Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at 415-623-2251 or lilettebaltodano@nps.gov.
