Opportunity Summary:
The "Stanford Leadership Training Modules" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI WASO 2722110010) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice announcing its intent to fund a specific project without competition through a Cooperative Agreement. In other words, it is not a call for proposals and it is not asking organizations to apply. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to partner directly with Stanford Universitys Graduate School of Business to create leadership training materials centered on public sector scenarios, including those drawn from NPS experiences.
The core purpose of the agreement is to develop a set of leadership training modules that can be used broadly across many settings, such as schools, universities, private companies, and government agencies, while also strengthening leadership development inside NPS. The idea is to combine Stanfords established expertise in case-based teaching with real-world public sector leadership situations from NPS. NPS expects that Stanford will help turn NPS leadership vignettes into high-quality teaching tools, and that NPS leaders will also benefit from exposure to Stanfords existing library of leadership modules, including private sector and military examples.
The project activities focus on creating and producing case-study style training videos and accompanying learning modules. These modules are intended to be practical teaching packages, typically built around video interviews (using selected NPS staff as the featured protagonists), clearly defined learning objectives, and instructor-facing lesson plans with strategies for guiding discussion both in person and online. A notable feature of the partnership is that Stanford will also provide NPS with feedback and analysis based on how students and other audiences respond to the scenarios when the modules are used by various groups around the country, giving NPS insight into what resonates, what confuses learners, and what elements may need improvement.
Roles are divided between Stanford as the primary developer and NPS as the content partner. Stanford is expected to design, develop, record, and edit interviews; apply instructional design to build complete case studies and online modules; and fit the deliverables into Stanfords established templates and production standards. Stanford will brief the NPS leaders who participate in the interviews, adjust templates and online functionality where possible to meet NPS needs (without conflicting with university requirements), and treat the resulting NPS cases as public sector leadership examples within its broader leadership development program. Stanford also commits to making the modules widely available, providing unrestricted access to the academic community, corporate and private clients, and NPS for ongoing use in essentially any teaching or learning environment, including global use.
NPS responsibilities are framed around ensuring the content reflects public sector leadership outcomes and that the right internal voices are included. NPS will provide recommendations and guidance for each case and module, run an internal recruitment and nomination process to identify qualified NPS leaders who can serve as case protagonists, and give iterative feedback to Stanford faculty and staff so the materials can be refined. This back-and-forth is meant to ensure the final products meet the learning goals of both organizations and are structured in a way that works for public sector leadership training.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding using a Cooperative Agreement under the education activity category. The announcement lists an expected single award with estimated total funding of $250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. It was posted on April 22, 2011, with a closing date of April 25, 2011, and archived on May 25, 2011. Although eligibility is listed as unrestricted in the metadata, the narrative makes clear the funding is intended for a non-competitive award to Stanford for the described partnership rather than an open competition. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Heidi Sage, Contract Specialist, at 303-969-2378.
