Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award to support education and outreach at Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument (HAFO). The monument was created by Congress to protect the internationally significant paleontological resources of the Hagerman Valley fossil sites while also ensuring those resources are used in ways that benefit the public and the scientific community. In practical terms, the grant is meant to strengthen how visitors and the broader community understand the monument, its fossils, and its scientific value through interpretation, educational programming, and related outreach activities delivered in partnership with a local nonprofit organization.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which signals that the National Park Service expects substantial involvement in the project, such as coordination on planning, content, and delivery of interpretive or educational work. The purpose is to establish an ongoing working partnership between HAFO and a community-based nonprofit to advance the monument's mission in three main areas: supporting continued paleontological research, improving the display and interpretation of scientific specimens found at the site, and encouraging orderly, regulated research access for qualified scientists, scientific organizations, and students working under appropriate professional oversight.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The notice indicates no cost sharing or matching funds are required. The opportunity is categorized under education and environment/natural resources, reflecting its focus on public interpretation and stewardship of scientific and natural heritage.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $40,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000, and it anticipates making one award. Because this is explicitly a notice of intent leading to a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2), it is not presented as an open competition with multiple awards; instead, it indicates the agency plans to fund a specific partnership arrangement consistent with those internal policy authorities.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number NPS NOI HAFO FY10 H9608100011, a posted and created date of September 8, 2010, and an original/current closing date of September 18, 2010, with an archive date of October 18, 2010. For access issues or additional details, the listed point of contact is Sarah Welch, Contract Specialist, at 360-854-7220.
