About this opportunity

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service’s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number To be filled out by Contracting Project Title Beringia Seabird Youth Network Recipient Northern Research Technical Assistance Center (NORTAC) Principle Investigator / Program Manager NORTAC Priscilla Wohl President 11233 W Yucca Littleton, CO 80125 [email protected] 907-441-1000 Total Anticipated Award Amount $48,912 Cost Share $3,000 New Award or Continuation? To be filled out by Contracting Anticipated Period of Performance June 1, 2015 – June 1, 2016 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 16 USC 1g, 31 6305 CFDA # and Title 15.946-Cultural Resource Management Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact To be filled out by Contracting OVERVIEW The Beringia Seabird Youth Network will work closely with the school districts on the Commander and Pribilof Islands to develop an understanding of the close similarities (and differences) of the wildlife and subsistence practices and develop inter-island community relationships. The project includes the sharing of a seabird curriculum; the development of pen-pal communication between youth; the sharing of natural and cultural resource information; and a weeklong camp that will bring the youth together. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The objectives of the proposed project are concentrate on 4 major areas: 1) Seabird Curriculum: The seabird curriculum will be created during the first two years of the proposed three-year project. The curriculum for 5/6th grade will be designed as an “Introduction to Seabirds”, including information on breeding and feeding why we study seabirds. The curriculum activities will be adaptable for older or younger students making it more appealing to rural communities with multi-age classrooms such as the Pribilof School District and Nikolskoye. The unit will be an integrated cross-curriculum (including etc.) so that it can have greater use in schools on both sides of the Bering Sea. 2) Pen-pal communication: Pen-pal communication between students on St. Paul, St. George and Nikolskoye will be initiated in year one, and continue for the three project years. Communication will be facilitated by teachers, and focus on students aged 8-14. 3) Sharing information about natural and cultural resources: • Information about each local wildlife will be shared on the Seabird Youth Website in both English and Russian; • Interviews with elders and the learning and participation in subsistence practices at the annual Seabird Camp will be facilitated by the St. Paul, Pribilof Islands Aleut Community of Saint Paul Island, St George Traditional Council, and the St. George Institute. • Nikolskoye students will share traditional songs and dance using video footage shared via the Seabird Youth Network website with Pribilof students. 4) Pribilof Island Seabird Camps: Seabird Camp is a weeklong day camp dedicated to learning about seabirds through hands-on activities, such as field guest lectures by staff members. Daily blog posts will be shared with students on the Commander Islands and translated into Russian. An annual camp program on the Pribilof Islands is vital for continuity with student relationships and learning, and the hosting of students from Nikolskoye during the third year of the proposed project will cement relationships through shared experiences and provide a deeper level of understanding of the globally important natural and cultural resources of these two island groups.
