Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Public Education - Great Lakes habitats and invasive species," was issued by the National Park Service (NPS) as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). It was specifically framed as a single-source Notice of Intent to make an award to one organization, Wildlife Forever, rather than an open competition. The overall purpose was to extend and strengthen ongoing public outreach and education work tied to GLRI's invasive species emphasis, specifically under Project #88: "Restore habitats with invasive species control." In practical terms, the project focus was not direct on-the-ground removal work alone, but the public-facing component that supports habitat restoration by helping communities understand invasive species impacts and how to prevent their spread.
The core activity described involves continued collaboration among Wildlife Forever, the National Park Service, and other federal agencies participating in GLRI efforts funded through the Environmental Protection Agency. Wildlife Forever was already engaged in related interagency efforts to reach community audiences and produce media that communicates environmental information. This award was intended as an extension of those existing projects, with the explicit goal of combining and aligning them into a more unified, coordinated approach. The emphasis on a "unified approach" suggests the agencies wanted consistent messaging, shared outreach products, and coordinated public education strategies across multiple partners working in the Great Lakes region, rather than separate, disconnected campaigns.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000, with an award ceiling of $45,000 and no required cost sharing or matching funds. It was categorized under the environment funding activity area, and the CFDA listing was shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which often indicates the listing is being treated as a general or catch-all federal assistance category in the posting system rather than a standard, commonly used CFDA program number. The posting date and creation date were both July 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2010, and an archive date of September 9, 2010.
Eligibility was effectively limited by design. While the listing shows "Others" and refers readers to additional eligibility information, the most important eligibility detail is that it was a single-source Notice of Intent tied to the project description, meaning the agency was signaling its intent to fund Wildlife Forever for continuity and coordination reasons. Cooperative agreement status also matters because it typically indicates NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the work, such as active coordination, collaboration on messaging, review of outreach materials, and alignment with broader GLRI invasive species priorities.
