Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance Towards Development of a Natural Resources Stewardship and Science Cooperating Association" (Funding Opportunity Number AJ2340090072), is a National Park Service discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement. The purpose is to secure professional expertise to carry out field studies and related technical assistance that will support the development of a natural resources stewardship and science cooperating association. In practical terms, the project is geared toward generating on-the-ground study results and technical inputs that help establish or strengthen a formal partnership structure focused on natural resource stewardship and science.
The opportunity falls under the funding activity category "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" and is structured to make a single award. Total funding is fixed at $14,100, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $14,100, indicating one anticipated award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible grant sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the selected applicant is not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to private institutions of higher education, meaning private colleges and universities are the intended applicants. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the National Park Service is likely to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant, such as collaborating on the study scope, coordinating fieldwork needs, guiding deliverables, or participating in review and implementation steps tied to forming the cooperating association.
Key dates show a short application window: the opportunity was posted on October 23, 2009 (created October 20, 2009), with an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009. The archive date is November 27, 2009, reflecting that the announcement is no longer active after that period. The listing includes a CFDA number placeholder of 00.000 labeled "Not Elsewhere Classified," suggesting the program classification was not mapped to a standard CFDA entry in the source record.
For assistance or if there are issues accessing the full announcement, the listed National Park Service contact is Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
