Opportunity Summary:
The "Bad Pass Trail Ethnographic Research/Fieldwork" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7481120016) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources research within the National Park System. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the work is intended to be carried out through the NPS Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) via a task agreement. In practice, this means the project is structured as a collaborative research effort where NPS anticipates active involvement alongside the recipient, rather than a simple pass-through grant with minimal federal participation.
This announcement is a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It is explicitly described as noncompetitive and issued under the Department of the Interior's 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C authority, which provides policy for when a single-source award is appropriate. The eligible applicant pool is therefore not meaningfully open, because the announcement states that it is not a request for applications and that the award is designated as a single-source action to the University of Wyoming. Although the listing includes a generic "Eligible Applicants: Others" label, the eligibility clarification makes clear that other organizations are not being solicited to apply.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $36,765. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be expected to contribute a required percentage of project costs as a condition of the award. The posted and created dates are both June 8, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2012, and an archive date of July 13, 2012. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent/single-source publication, where the purpose is typically public transparency and documentation rather than generating competition.
Administratively, the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is commonly used for NPS cooperative agreements supporting research, technical assistance, and training tied to park resources. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0 in the database record, which often reflects that the precise obligated amount is handled through the task agreement documentation rather than expressed as a traditional competitive range in the public synopsis.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
