Opportunity Information: Apply for NOIP16AC00542
The Discovering Lewis and Clark Website - LECL opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOIP16AC00542) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on upgrading and improving the educational website Discovering Lewis and Clark (www.lewis-clark.org). The site is owned and managed by the Lewis and Clark Fort Mandan Foundation, and the purpose of the agreement is to ensure the website continues to deliver accurate, high-quality public education about the Lewis and Clark expedition and the American Indian Tribes connected to that history. The NPS Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail program is expected to play an active role, particularly in developing and reviewing both the technical upgrades and the educational content to maintain accuracy and public value.
The work described centers on a combined technical and content modernization effort. The Foundation and NPS will jointly review the site for functionality and overall user experience, with the goal of making it more user-friendly for general audiences. In parallel, they will establish a structured process to review the existing educational materials, identify gaps, and prioritize improvements, including critical content updates where accuracy, completeness, or relevance needs attention. After the evaluation, the project moves into implementation: making the specific website improvements identified, drafting new or revised educational content, and integrating that content into the site in a way that supports learning and public engagement.
A key part of the statement of work is outreach and visibility. Beyond fixing and updating the website itself, the partners will develop and implement a promotion strategy designed to draw interest from the general public and from educators, especially those along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail corridor. The underlying intent is not only to maintain the website, but to strengthen it as a widely used educational resource and to increase its reach among teachers and learners who may incorporate it into classroom instruction, interpretive programs, or informal learning.
This announcement is also notable because it is explicitly a single-source, non-competitive action and not an open call for applications. NPS provides public notice that it intends to fund the Lewis and Clark Fort Mandan Foundation directly without competition, citing Department of the Interior and NPS policy requirements for written justification when competition is not practicable. The rationale is that the effort is a continuation of ongoing activities with the Foundation, which is described as one of the leading Lewis and Clark educational organizations and the proprietary caretaker of the website. Because the Foundation owns and manages the site and already has the supporting expertise and infrastructure, NPS identifies it as uniquely qualified to carry out the work effectively.
In funding terms, the award is listed with an award ceiling of $15,000 and an expectation of a single award. The project description explains that an earlier cooperative agreement was for $15,000 and that a modification adding an additional $15,000 is required to support current project activities, indicating the work is being extended or expanded beyond the initial funding level. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, uses the cooperative agreement instrument (which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency), and is associated with CFDA 15.954. The original closing date shown is June 23, 2017, but because the notice states it is not a request for applications, the date functions more as an administrative marker than a competitive deadline.Apply for NOIP16AC00542
