Opportunity Information: Apply for P14AS00287

The National Park Service has announced its intent to issue a funding opportunity, titled "River Conservation Tools and Learning Network Development," to support a project with the River Network. This initiative, backed by a total anticipated award of $25,000, aims to empower the public in river and watershed protection by establishing a National Water Trails Managers Learning Network.

This will build on a prior cooperative agreement that began in 2011 and focuses on enhancing collaboration among water trail managers to address high-priority needs identified through a needs assessment. Key project activities will include creating an online learning network, organizing national water trails workshops, and developing educational materials that share best practices for broader public engagement and support of conservation efforts.

Significant involvement from the National Park Service is anticipated, including collaboration on the development and execution of the learning network and workshops. The project is set to run until September 30, 2015, and reflects the agency's commitment to provide ongoing support for initiatives that enhance river conservation and increase public participation.

The decision to pursue this funding without open competition is justified based on the project's continuity and its necessity for the successful completion of previously funded activities. Overall, the project intends to foster citizen engagement and financial innovation in river conservation efforts, aiming for a lasting impact beyond the life of the current agreement.
