Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00320
The National Park Service (Department of the Interior) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Connecting Teachers in Parks Professional Development Workshop" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00320) to support an education-focused professional development program that connects K-12 teachers with park-based natural and cultural resources in Alaska. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service is expected to be substantially involved in carrying out the work alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The core purpose of the award is to run a three-day professional development workshop for about 30 teachers hosted at the Alaska SeaLife Center and within a national park setting. The workshop model is designed to deepen teachers' familiarity with local ecosystems, wildlife, and cultural history through a mix of lectures, hands-on learning activities, and guided field trips. By immersing educators directly in place-based learning, the program aims to help teachers translate real park and marine science experiences into classroom lessons that align with learning standards and spark long-term student engagement. Teachers participating in the workshop are expected to bring the material back to their schools and share it with students over multiple years, extending the impact well beyond the three-day event. Participants also earn continuing education credit, adding a formal professional credentialing benefit to the program.
A specific priority built into the funding is support for equitable access for rural educators: the opportunity states that funds are specifically obligated to cover travel for 3 to 6 teachers coming from rural, off-the-road villages in Alaska. This set-aside reflects the practical reality that many Alaska communities are not connected to the road system, making travel costs a major barrier to participation in statewide professional development. By underwriting those travel expenses, the project is intended to ensure that teachers from remote communities can participate and that the workshop's benefits reach students who might otherwise have limited exposure to park-based education programming.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under the Education and Environment activity categories and is associated with CFDA number 15.945. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The notice is also explicitly described as a notice of intent to award to the Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine Science, doing business as the Alaska SeaLife Center, indicating the agency had identified the intended recipient for this single expected award. The anticipated funding amount is up to an award ceiling of $102,000, with one award expected. The opportunity was created on June 25, 2019, with an original closing date of July 5, 2019.Apply for P19AS00320
