Opportunity Summary:
The "U of Mass, Tsongas Center Educational Program" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0039) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award funding through a cooperative agreement, rather than an open call for proposals. The key point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) plans to provide continuation funding for specific, pre-identified project activities without full and open competition.
Structurally, this is described as continuation funding under a Cooperative Agreement, categorized under the Education activity area. The NPS indicates that the award will be made by adding additional funds to an existing task agreement (Task Agreement J1780100016) through a modification (Modification 01) under an existing cooperative agreement (H1780070014). In practical terms, this means the work is being continued or expanded under an already-established partnership framework rather than being recompeted among multiple applicants.
Financially, the total estimated funding is $35,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $35,000, which signals a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the title and the reference to the University of Massachusetts and the Tsongas Industrial Center. The posting and creation date are September 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 12, 2010, and an archive date of September 13, 2010. These dates are largely administrative here because the notice is not soliciting applications; they primarily document the window during which the public notice was available.
For access issues related to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056. The announcement also references the "U of Mass Tsongas Industrial Center" in the contact context, reinforcing that the funded educational programming is tied to that partner entity and location.
