Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0103
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a public notice for an anticipated award under the opportunity titled Citizen Science Workshops for Managers, Interpreters, and Scientists (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 17 NERO 0103). Even though it appears in the same places where competitive grant announcements often show up, the key point is that this notice is not a request for applications. In practical terms, NPS is not soliciting proposals from the general public or opening a competition; it is notifying the public that it intends to make an award through an existing arrangement.
The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The announcement states the award would be made as a task agreement under a master cooperative agreement that has already been competed, or that was established through a single-source justification. That language signals the recipient is likely already part of a pre-qualified partner pool or is otherwise the designated partner under an approved justification, and the work will be issued as a specific task under that umbrella agreement.
Programmatically, the opportunity sits in the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.944, which corresponds to National Park Service-related assistance programs. The project theme, as reflected in the title, involves citizen science workshops aimed at park managers, interpreters, and scientists. While the notice does not provide detailed deliverables, the title suggests training or capacity-building workshops designed to help NPS staff and partners plan, implement, and communicate citizen science efforts in park settings, potentially bridging operational management, public interpretation/education, and research or monitoring needs.
Funding details included an award ceiling of $60,000 and an expectation of one award. The notice was created on July 26, 2017, with an original closing date of August 4, 2017, but since this is not an application solicitation, the date functions more as an administrative posting window than a deadline for submitting proposals. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a reference to additional eligibility clarification elsewhere, but again, because the award is intended to be made under an existing master cooperative agreement, general eligibility is less relevant than whether an organization is already the selected or authorized partner under that prior agreement framework.
Overall, this posting is best understood as a transparency notice: NPS is informing the public of its intent to issue a single task agreement for a citizen science workshop effort, using a cooperative agreement vehicle, with up to $60,000 in funding, and without opening a new competitive application process.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0103
