Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP15AC00157
The Isle Royale Institute Support FY2015 - FY2019 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00157) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement designed to sustain and strengthen an established, long-term partnership between Isle Royale National Park and Michigan Technological University through the Isle Royale Institute (IRI). It sits under a broader Master Cooperative Agreement (P12AC31164) between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service and the Great Lakes-Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (GLNF-CESU). In practical terms, this funding is meant to keep an ongoing collaboration in motion rather than launch a brand-new, open competition project.
The core purpose of the agreement is to support the IRI as a coordinating hub that brings together cooperative education, scientific work, and natural and cultural resource management connected to Isle Royale National Park. The Institute functions as a bridge between the park and the university, helping align research and learning opportunities with real park needs, and encouraging shared projects that benefit both public resource stewardship and education.
A major deliverable emphasized in the description is education programming, specifically programming intended for tribal youth, families, teachers, and adult lifelong learners. This points to a strong public engagement component, where learning opportunities are not limited to traditional college audiences but are deliberately extended to community groups and educators, with an explicit inclusion of tribal participants. The programming focus suggests activities like field-based learning, curriculum support for teachers, community and family learning experiences, and educational initiatives that connect people to Isle Royale resources and management challenges.
This notice also makes clear that the action is a continuation of an existing arrangement, with additional funds being added for FY2018. The description specifies an added amount of $25,000 for FY2018, indicating that the opportunity is essentially an amendment or incremental funding action under the continuing partnership framework rather than a wide, multi-award solicitation. Consistent with that, the expected number of awards is listed as one, reinforcing that the funding is intended for the established partner structure rather than multiple competing applicants.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as “Other” and uses a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, which typically reflects substantial involvement and collaboration between the federal agency and the recipient during the project period. The listed CFDA number is 15.945, and the agency is the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The posting shows a creation date of June 11, 2018, with an original closing date of June 21, 2018, and an award ceiling of $137,100. Eligibility is listed broadly as “Others,” with the implication that eligibility details are tied to the CESU partnership structure and the existing cooperative agreement framework.Apply for NPS NOIP15AC00157
