Analyzing Archaeological Materials from Redwood National Park to Investigate Historical Marine Environments | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Analyzing Archaeological Materials from Redwood National Park to Investigate Historical Marine Environments" is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is important to understand that this notice is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the NPS plans to fund a specific project with a specific partner without full and open competition, which typically means the agency has an existing cooperative framework and a justified reason to proceed with a designated institution rather than running an open call.

The project will be carried out under Task Agreement Number P14AC01578, which sits under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001) with Washington State University (WSU). WSU is identified as a partner in the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, which is commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other research organizations on applied science, cultural resources, and resource management priorities. The focus of the work is on analyzing archaeological materials from Redwood National Park to better understand historical marine environments, implying that physical remains or collections curated from archaeological contexts will be studied to reconstruct past coastal or marine conditions. In practical terms, this kind of research often supports park resource management by adding long-term environmental context that cannot be captured by modern monitoring alone.

Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, and it falls under the Natural Resources activity category. The notice indicates an expectation of one award, reinforcing that the funding is intended for a single, pre-identified recipient rather than multiple competitive awards. The total estimated funding amount is $43,508, and the listing shows no award ceiling or floor (both set to 0), which is typical of notices where the funding level is already determined within the agreement structure rather than being presented as a range for applicants to propose against. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.

Eligibility is stated as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education." While that may look like a standard eligibility category on Grants.gov, in this case it does not function as an invitation for other universities to apply because the posting explicitly states there is no application process. The relevant CFDA number is 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with collaborative research, analysis, and technical support benefiting NPS stewardship responsibilities.

In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted and created on August 23, 2014. The closing date fields reiterate that it is not a request for applications, and the archive date is August 30, 2014, meaning the notice was publicly visible for a short window consistent with informational postings rather than an open competition period. Anyone seeking the full announcement as originally posted would typically consult the referenced Grants.gov link, though the notice also provides a direct point of contact for access issues.

For questions or difficulties accessing the announcement, the contact person is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251 or by email at lilettebaltodano@nps.gov.
