Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0094
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a public notice describing its intent to make a single, non-competitive financial assistance award for a project titled "Develop Curriculum Based, Multidisciplinary Outdoor Education Program." The notice makes a point of stating that it is not a request for applications, meaning the agency was not soliciting proposals from the broader public. Instead, it served as a formal announcement that NPS planned to fund specific project activities through a direct award process without competition.
This opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action and would be issued as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as participating in planning, coordinating activities, providing technical input, or collaborating on deliverables. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," which generally signals that the work does not fit neatly into common categories like research, construction, or training, and in this case it centers on the development of a curriculum-based, multidisciplinary outdoor education program.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "NPS 17 NERO 0094" and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.954, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance. The posting lists an award ceiling of $25,000 and anticipates one award in total, reinforcing that this was a targeted, limited-scope assistance action rather than an open competition with multiple potential recipients.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a reference to additional eligibility details in the full announcement materials. In practice, language like this often accompanies non-competitive notices where the intended recipient may already be known, and the public notice is issued to meet transparency and administrative requirements rather than to invite new applicants. The notice was created on July 18, 2017, with an original closing date of July 28, 2017, though the "closing date" in a non-application notice typically functions more like the end of the public notice period than a deadline for submitting proposals.
In summary, this announcement documents NPS's intent to provide up to $25,000 through one cooperative agreement to support the development of a curriculum-driven, multidisciplinary outdoor education program. It is not an open grant competition and was published primarily to inform the public that the agency planned to make this award without soliciting applications.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0094
