Opportunity Summary:
The SARI Advance MREC Educational Program Support notice is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior for work at Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve (SARI) on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The project centers on delivering a structured, three-point terrestrial educational program that combines cultural and ecological learning for local 6th grade students. In practical terms, the intent is to support hands-on, place-based education tied directly to the park's natural resources and cultural history, using SARI as the outdoor classroom.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open competition and it is not seeking applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS intends to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition. The identified recipient is IIeri Inc, and the work is tied to Cooperative Agreement P15AC00169. Because it is a notice rather than a solicitation, there is no application deadline in the usual sense; both the original and current closing dates state that no applications are accepted.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to be involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on program delivery, coordination, or oversight. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, aligning with the educational focus on ecology and stewardship connected to the park environment. The CFDA listing is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, which reflects the outreach and education mission embedded in the program.
Financially, the notice anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $16,987. The award ceiling is also $16,987, while the award floor is $7,984, indicating the anticipated funding range for the project under this action. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Although the broader eligibility category references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the key point for this particular posting is that the NPS has already selected the intended partner (IIeri Inc) and is proceeding via a non-competitive approach. The notice was posted and created on January 23, 2015, and it was archived on January 27, 2015, reinforcing that it functioned as a short public notice rather than an open call.
For those seeking more information or experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Sandra Newton, Contract Specialist, at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov. The additional information link points to Grants.gov, but again, the substance of this posting is informational: it announces an intended award for an educational program at SARI rather than inviting proposals.
