Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "SAIT and BOR Blended Learning Curriculum Design and Development for Harpers Ferry and the Mather Training Center" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AC01125) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant aimed at supporting education and training work connected to the National Park System. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient will carry out the project while working closely with NPS staff, often with substantial federal involvement in planning, coordination, review, or deliverables. The focus of the project is blended learning curriculum design and development for two NPS training hubs: Harpers Ferry and the Stephen T. Mather Training Center.
This opportunity falls under the Education activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System." The funding level is fixed rather than a range: the estimated total funding is $100,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are set at $100,000, indicating NPS expected to make a single award for the full amount. Only one award was anticipated. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that generally points to state universities, public colleges, and similar institutions that can demonstrate they are state-controlled higher education entities. The tight eligibility suggests NPS was seeking a partner with academic instructional design capacity, experience developing curricula, and the ability to produce training materials suitable for a federal workforce context, particularly in blended formats that combine online components with face-to-face or facilitated training.
The timeline for the competition was short. The opportunity was posted and created on August 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2014. The archive date is September 11, 2014, which means the listing was later moved out of active status after the application window closed. Because the open period was only about five days, it likely functioned as a targeted or highly specific competition where the agency had a clearly defined need and expected a quick response from eligible institutions positioned to execute the work rapidly.
For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was Katie Schroeder, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 402-661-1640, with an email referenced but not fully provided in the source text. The additional information link was through Grants.gov, where the full package would have contained the project scope, expected deliverables, performance period, reporting requirements, and the cooperative agreement terms outlining the collaborative role of NPS.
