Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes the National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single discretionary award through a Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number P13AC00045) titled "THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Notice of Intent to Award Indiana Dunes Learning Center." The key point is that it is not an open call for competitive proposals; instead, it signals the government plans to enter into an agreement with a specific partner, the Indiana Dunes Environmental Learning Center, to carry out the described work.
The purpose of the agreement is to support, stimulate, and promote environmental education delivered through a residential program connected to the Indiana Dunes area. The program is designed to have broad educational applications and to extend its reach beyond the boundaries of the park itself. In practical terms, the learning experience is intended to serve students and families across a wider region, including (but not limited to) the Chicago area, Northwest Indiana, and Southern Michigan. A notable emphasis is on reaching diverse audiences, including many participants who live in low-income neighborhoods, reflecting an outreach and access focus alongside the educational mission.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $685,000. The listed award ceiling is $685,000 and the award floor is $185,000, indicating the possible range of federal support under the agreement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a specific non-federal match as a condition of the award, based on the notice details.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary with a funding instrument type of Cooperative Agreement. That instrument type typically indicates that NPS expects substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration, coordination, or active participation in implementing the program, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement.
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on March 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2013, and an archive date of April 19, 2013.
