Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a Notice of Intent to Award from the National Park Service (NPS), meaning it is not an open competition and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS planned to fund a specific education-focused project under Funding Opportunity Number P11AT32009, titled "Three Dimensional visualization of Denali National Parks Dinosaur dance floor." The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding instrument identified as a cooperative agreement, which signals that NPS expected to be actively involved in the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The intended recipient was Alaska Geographic, with David Tomeo listed as the principal investigator. The total anticipated award amount was $35,250, with no cost share or matching requirement. Although the cooperative agreement was anticipated to span five years, the stated period of performance ran from April 30, 2011 through September 30, 2015. The funding listing also indicated an "ExpectedAwards" count of one, reinforcing that the award was meant for a single, specific partner rather than multiple recipients.
The purpose of the project was to create a three-dimensional visualization of the "Dinosaur dance floor" in Denali National Park. While the notice does not provide technical specifications, the intent is clearly interpretive and educational: to translate a dataset related to this paleontological resource into an interactive or display-ready visualization that could be used for public learning. The announcement also references integration with existing MSLC exhibits, suggesting the final product was expected to fit into a museum or learning center setting rather than being a standalone research output.
A key feature of this opportunity is the "substantial cooperation and involvement" requirement. NPS committed to being centrally involved throughout the agreement. Specifically, NPS (DENA, referring to Denali National Park and Preserve) was responsible for delivering the underlying dataset in a usable format. NPS also planned to work jointly with partners to integrate the dataset, design the visualization, provide ongoing educational review during development of the visualization interface (to ensure it fit smoothly with the MSLC exhibits), and evaluate how effective the final product was for education and interpretation.
The legal and program framework is also spelled out. The statutory authority cited is 16 U.S.C. 1(g), which supports NPS entering cooperative agreements involving the transfer of appropriated funds to eligible entities for public purposes tied to NPS programs, consistent with 31 U.S.C. 6305. The program listing is identified with CFDA number 15.944. Administratively, the announcement was posted on September 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of October 6, 2011, and an archive date of November 5, 2011, but it explicitly states that applications would not be accepted from anyone other than Alaska Geographic.
For logistical questions, the point of contact listed was Erica Cordeiro, Contract Specialist, at (907) 644-3303, intended primarily for assistance accessing the full announcement rather than for submitting proposals, since the award path was already predetermined by the Notice of Intent.
