Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award, meaning it is not an open call for proposals and it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific project under Funding Opportunity Number P11AT30895, titled "Understanding Change: How communities perceive climate change at a local level." The planned recipient is the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and applications are explicitly not accepted from any organization other than UAF.
The project focuses on understanding how communities, particularly rural subsistence communities, perceive and interpret climate change impacts at the local level. While the announcement does not lay out a detailed workplan, it clearly indicates that the work will involve community engagement and interviews, supported by NPS input on project development and interview scripts. The intent is to document and better understand local observations, experiences, and perspectives on climate change, likely in or near areas connected to the National Park System in Alaska where subsistence lifestyles and close ties to local ecosystems make climate impacts especially visible and consequential.
The award is expected to be made as a cooperative agreement, which signals that NPS will be substantially involved in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. Specifically, NPS will provide feedback and suggestions during project development, help organize and host preliminary meetings in rural subsistence communities, and assist researchers in connecting with subsistence community members. Park staff will also share relevant resources such as prior reports and documentation related to observed climate change impacts, which can help ground the community-based findings in existing park and regional research.
Financially, the anticipated award amount is listed as $33,354 in the project abstract, with additional source data showing an estimated total funding amount of $35,354 and an award floor of $35,354, with a ceiling of $50,000. No cost share or matching funds are required. The anticipated period of performance is two years, running from September 30, 2011 through September 30, 2013, and it is identified as a new award rather than a continuation.
The legal and program framework is also provided. The statutory authority cited is 16 U.S.C. 1(g), which authorizes the National Park Service to enter into cooperative agreements that transfer appropriated funds to eligible partners, including educational institutions, to carry out public purposes tied to NPS programs (consistent with 31 U.S.C. 6305). The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, tied to cooperative research and training programs and resources of the National Park System, and it is categorized under the environment funding activity area.
Administrative details indicate the notice 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, reflecting the time window for public notice rather than a competitive application period. A point of contact is listed for access issues: Erica Cordeiro, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 907-644-3303.
