Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued this notice to publicly document its intent to fund a specific, non-competitive cooperative agreement with River Network. It is not a call for proposals and not something organizations can apply to through an open competition. The purpose is to support river and watershed conservation by strengthening local capacity: creating practical tools, building organizational skills, and delivering training that helps communities and watershed groups protect and manage their rivers more effectively.
The project focuses on five main activity areas. First, it aims to promote local river conservation and protection led by communities, including development of usable protection tools and potentially model projects that other communities can replicate. Second, it supports collaborative planning and delivery of education and training opportunities, including River Rally, a convening that brings watershed organizations, conservation groups, and public agencies together for workshops, intensive trainings, and exchange of current strategies and ideas in river conservation. Third, it advances river protection through partnerships linking NPS, River Network, and other initiatives at the federal, regional, state, and local levels, explicitly referencing efforts like the Federal Urban Waters Partnership and Americas Great Outdoors, while also continuing to recruit and engage new partners. Fourth, it emphasizes identifying and sharing potential public and private funding sources to help pay for local river protection projects, outreach, education, and related partner activities. Fifth, it leaves room for additional mutually beneficial conservation work such as promotion, research, interagency coordination, technical assistance, and training tied to river conservation and management needs.
The management approach is framed as a close partnership with shared leadership. NPS and River Network are expected to coordinate regularly under an annual work plan, communicate consistently, and document results from the partnership activities. River Network is positioned as the lead on education and training, resource and tool development for local protection work, and collecting and distributing funding information that can support projects and outreach. NPS remains actively involved because it has a direct interest in improving local and national partners ability to conserve water resources; the agency plans to work closely with River Network on trainings, assembling and sharing river protection tools that benefit local projects, and helping gather and disseminate funding information.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary environmental cooperative agreement with an expected single award and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOI WASO 2240110102, titled River Network, posted April 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2011, and an archive date of May 25, 2011. The notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $12,500, an award floor of $1, and an award ceiling of $100,000. Eligible applicants are defined as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), though the key point is that this specific announcement serves as a public notice of intent to fund without competition rather than an open application opportunity. The listed contact for access issues is Heidi Sage, Contract Specialist, at 303-969-2378 (email not provided in the text).
