Opportunity Summary:
The Student Support for Global Explorer Expeditions opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOJ2390111201) is a National Park Service discretionary cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources activity area. The project’s purpose is to continue an existing collaborative relationship focused on education and hands-on learning about the acoustical environment, specifically helping a diverse mix of students and adults understand what soundscapes are, why they matter, and how they are characterized and studied. The core idea is immersion: rather than teaching acoustics only in a classroom, the partnership will bring participants directly into the subject through field-based experiences tied to Global Explorer "Leading the Way" expeditions.
The work described centers on designing and carrying out a range of acoustics-related experiments during these expeditions. While the notice does not list the individual experiments, it indicates that the alliance will both develop the experimental activities and implement them in the expedition setting, which implies practical data collection or observation exercises related to environmental sound, soundscape monitoring, or other acoustical field methods. The overarching educational goal is to build understanding of the characteristics and significance of acoustical environments, which in a National Park Service context often relates to natural soundscapes, visitor experience, and resource protection.
Administratively, this announcement is not a competitive solicitation. It is a notice of intent to make a non-competitive award to Global Explorers through a task agreement under an already-established cooperative agreement (H2350090025). The non-competitive basis is explicitly justified as consistent with Department of the Interior policy (Department Manual 505 DM 2), meaning the agency has determined that awarding directly to this partner is appropriate under its internal authorities and procedures rather than opening the project to open competition.
The expected number of awards is one, with estimated total funding of $55,000 and an award ceiling of $55,000 (the award floor is listed as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting and creation date are December 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 15, 2010, and an archive date of January 14, 2011. Eligible applicants are listed as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), though in practice the notice indicates the intended recipient is Global Explorers under the existing cooperative agreement structure.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, phone 303-987-6988.
