Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Administration efforts for National Cave and Karst Research Institute," is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice intended to cover administrative costs connected to the ongoing development of the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (often shortened to the Karst Institute) facilities. The purpose is narrowly focused: it is not aimed at funding broad new research projects or competitive program expansion, but instead at supporting the practical administrative work needed to move facility development forward.
The opportunity is issued as a notice of intent for a non-competitive award. In other words, the NPS is signaling that it plans to make a single award without an open competition, and it is doing so under Department of the Interior policy guidance cited as Department Manual 505 DM 2. The mechanism for carrying out the work is a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement (H2360097030) with the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. That detail is important because it indicates the work is essentially an extension or continuation of an established partnership rather than a new standalone grant to be competed among multiple applicants.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $65,000, with an award ceiling also set at $65,000 and an award floor of $0. The expectation is one award in total. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies ongoing involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during the period of performance, as opposed to a more hands-off grant arrangement.
In terms of eligibility, the opportunity identifies "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education" as eligible applicants, which aligns with the intended recipient being the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology under the existing cooperative agreement framework. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, reflecting the institute's connection to cave and karst science, resource stewardship, and related facility support functions. A CFDA number is not specifically assigned here and is shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which typically signals that the assistance does not neatly fall under a single standard CFDA program listing.
Timing information shows the notice was posted and created on September 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 23, 2010, and an archive date of October 23, 2010. The one-day window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice of intent/non-competitive action, where the agency is not soliciting broad applications but completing required public posting steps tied to internal policy and transparency requirements.
For applicants or members of the public who needed access to the full announcement or had questions, the listed point of contact was Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988. The funding opportunity number associated with the notice is NPS NOIWASOJ2360100006.
