Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Catalog Archives for Multiple Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100120307) is a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. It was posted on June 13, 2012, with a closing date of June 18, 2012, and an archive date of July 18, 2012. The estimated total funding amount for the effort is $300,050, and the opportunity anticipates making a single award.
This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. In practical terms, that means the NPS is signaling its intent to enter into a task agreement through the CESU framework rather than inviting proposals from the general public or multiple institutions.
Eligibility is therefore effectively limited by design: the announcement explicitly states it is a single-source award to the University of Arizona, and it notes that the posting is not a request for applications. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with the award. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System.
The purpose, as indicated by the title and brief description, is to support work to catalog archival materials for multiple park units. While the short public summary does not provide technical details of the scope, the structure (a CESU task agreement) generally implies cooperative research, technical services, or applied support work carried out in partnership with an academic institution to benefit NPS resource stewardship and management needs, in this case focusing on archives cataloging across more than one park.
For additional details or access issues related to the full announcement materials, the NPS provided a grants management contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
