Opportunity Summary:
The Teacher Ranger Teacher Program Curriculum Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1246121013) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support curriculum-related work connected to the Teacher Ranger Teacher (TRT) program. The award is being made through a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism the Department of the Interior uses to carry out research, technical assistance, and education and training activities tied to public lands and natural resource priorities. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the NPS is announcing its intent to fund a specific project with a specific partner rather than inviting proposals from multiple organizations. The eligible applicant information clarifies this point directly: it is a single source award to the University of Colorado Denver, and the announcement is not a request for applications. Because of that structure, other potential applicants are not being asked to submit proposals, and the posting functions primarily as a public transparency notice rather than an open grant competition.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $188,500, with an expected number of awards equal to one. The award ceiling and award floor are both shown as $0, which typically indicates that the standard ceiling/floor fields were not used to express the funding range for this particular posting, even though the total estimated funding is provided. The opportunity also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute resources toward the overall project cost, though the specific match percentage or allowable sources would be detailed in the full announcement or the resulting task agreement terms.
The timeline in the posting reflects a short public notice window. The opportunity was posted and created on May 21, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2012, and an archive date of June 27, 2012. In a noncompetitive context, these dates generally relate to the period the notice is visible and administratively active in the federal posting system rather than a period during which the public can submit applications.
For additional details or to request access to the full announcement if there are issues retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
