Opportunity Summary:
The War of 1812 Teacher Symposium opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0025) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior discretionary education award tied to the National Trails System Projects program (CFDA 15.935). It is specifically framed as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the NPS is publicly announcing its plan to enter into a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement for a defined set of project activities related to a War of 1812 teacher symposium connected to the Star-Spangled Banner Trail.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement (identified as P12AC30383), which generally indicates substantial federal involvement in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The named cooperator is The Montpelier Foundation, and the announcement makes clear that the NPS intends to proceed with this partner without full and open competition. While the listing notes that eligible applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), that eligibility information is largely formal here because the award is already intended for a specific organization and the notice is primarily for transparency rather than competitive selection.
The award profile is straightforward and fixed: one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $36,006. The award ceiling and floor are both $36,006, signaling there is no range and the planned award amount is set. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on April 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 29, 2012, and an archive date of April 30, 2012, reflecting the short window typical of intent-to-award postings rather than a normal competitive grant cycle.
For parties seeking additional documentation, the announcement indicates that complete details are available in an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section. If there are access issues with the electronic materials, the listed point of contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056.
