Opportunity Summary:
The Building Common Ground Crow and Northern Cheyenne Tribal Field School Program (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1320119252) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action in the natural resources category. It is set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to be actively involved with the recipient in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which typically supports research, education, and training efforts tied to NPS resource stewardship.
This notice is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, that means the NPS already identified the intended recipient and is using the CESU framework to issue a task agreement. The announcement explicitly states the award will be made to the University of Wyoming, and that the noncompetitive approach is authorized under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). Because of that structure, other organizations are not being invited to apply, even though the general eligibility field is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification provided in the text.
The funding amount listed for the action is an estimated total of $25,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the single-source intent. While the award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero in the data fields, the narrative funding figure indicates the planned project funding level, and the ceiling/floor entries are best understood as administrative placeholders rather than the actual planned value.
Timing details indicate the opportunity was posted and created on August 12, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2011, and an archive date of September 15, 2011. The very short window between posting and closing aligns with the fact that this is not a request for applications, but rather a formal public notice that the agency intends to make a particular noncompetitive award.
For anyone needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically, the listed point of contact is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.
