Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Cartographic Research Associate - Maintaining a GIS program at JOTR" under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00049. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to work in close coordination with the National Park Service rather than simply receiving a pass-through grant with minimal federal involvement. The activity area is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it falls under CFDA 15.931.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support Joshua Tree National Park (JOTR) in keeping its Geographic Information System (GIS) program current, functional, and aligned with evolving GIS processes and technologies. The park indicates that, following mandatory federal sequestration actions several years prior to the posting, it lost the capacity to maintain a full-time NPS staff position dedicated to GIS work. As a result, JOTR needs outside support to handle GIS responsibilities that would normally be managed internally, including sustaining ongoing GIS projects and maintaining and updating associated GIS software systems. In practical terms, the project is aimed at ensuring the park can continue to manage spatial data, mapping workflows, and the technical infrastructure that supports GIS operations.
Eligibility is limited to a specific applicant type: nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $60,715. The notice was created and posted on February 29, 2016, and the application deadline was March 14, 2016.
