Opportunity Summary:
The Tsongas Industrial History Center Education Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0140) is a National Park Service (NPS) continuation funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for new proposals and it is not requesting applications. Instead, the announcement serves as a public notice that NPS plans to move forward with a non-competitive funding action by modifying an existing cooperative agreement to add additional funds for ongoing project work.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, and the action is specifically a modification to Cooperative Agreement P13AC01322 with the University of Massachusetts Lowell, which is identified as the cooperator. The project sits within the Education activity category and is connected to the Tsongas Industrial History Center, with emphasis noted on STEM-related programming. The award is structured as a single expected award, reflecting that the funding is intended for the existing partner rather than multiple recipients.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $48,987, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $48,987. That setup typically indicates a predetermined funding amount for a specific continuation or amendment rather than a range that applicants might compete within. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a matching contribution as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the named partner (University of Massachusetts Lowell). The associated CFDA number is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, placing it within NPSs broader education and outreach funding portfolio.
The posting date and creation date are both August 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014, and an archive date of September 3, 2014. Because this is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submission. The announcement also notes that complete details are contained in an attachment available under the Full Announcement section, indicating that the formal scope of work, justification for the non-competitive action, and specific project activities would be laid out in that supporting document.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056.
