Opportunity Summary:
The Theme Books and Medals opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P12AC30388) is a National Park Service education-focused cooperative agreement intended to support National History Day activities tied to the 2012 national contest season. The core purpose is straightforward: provide financial assistance so National History Day can (1) produce and distribute a curriculum resource "theme book" for teachers and (2) fund award medals that will be presented to student winners at the Kenneth E. Behring National Contest in Washington, D.C., scheduled for June 2012. In practice, this means the grant is aimed at strengthening classroom instruction connected to the annual National History Day theme while also underwriting recognition items for top-performing students at the national level.
This notice is not a broad, open competition. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to award a specific task agreement (P12AC30388) to National History Day under an existing cooperative agreement (P11AC00243). The eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the intent language makes clear the agency planned to direct the award to National History Day rather than solicit multiple applicants.
Funding is set at a fixed total of $35,000, with an award ceiling and floor both listed as $35,000, and the agency anticipated making one award. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project budget, consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement.
Key dates indicate a short turnaround typical of an intent-to-award posting tied to a time-sensitive event: it was posted and created on April 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2012, and it was later archived on June 3, 2012. The timing aligns with preparations for the June 2012 national contest. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the National Park Service listed Andrew Lubner, Contract Specialist, at 303-969-2378 and andrewlubner@nps.gov as the point of contact.
