Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "CESU Ground Penetrating Radar of the Grand Canyon Pioneer Cemetery" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding for a specific, pre-identified project rather than an open competition. It is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS plans to fund project activities without full and open competition through an existing cooperative framework.
The award is being made under a Cooperative Agreement (Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement) tied to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically the Southern Appalachian CESU. The intended recipient is the University of Kentucky, which is identified as a university partner within that CESU. The work is formalized through Task Agreement #P11AT50437 (R8219110210) under Cooperative Agreement #H5000095041. In practical terms, this means the NPS is using an established partnership mechanism that is designed to support collaborative research and technical projects with qualified academic institutions.
The purpose of the project is cultural resources management, reflected in both the activity classification and the CFDA listing (15.946 Cultural Resources Management). The core technical goal is to create both a surface map and a subsurface map of the Grand Canyon Pioneer Cemetery. The surface mapping component will use total station surveying, a precise method commonly used in cultural resource documentation and site mapping. The subsurface mapping component will use remote sensing geophysical technologies, specifically ground penetrating radar (GPR). Taken together, these methods are typically used to identify, document, and map features that may not be visible at the surface, such as unmarked graves or other burial-related disturbances, while minimizing or avoiding ground disturbance. The emphasis on collaborative partnership suggests NPS staff and the university team will coordinate on planning, fieldwork, data collection, and deliverables.
Funding details indicate a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) with a total estimated amount of $23,007. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $23,007, which signals a fixed anticipated funding level rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award. Eligibility is listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," consistent with the fact that the intended partner is a public university.
In terms of timing and administrative metadata, the opportunity was posted and created on June 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2011, and an archive date of July 10, 2011. Those short dates align with the "notice of intent to award" nature of the posting, since it is not designed to solicit applications over a typical competitive window. The funding opportunity number is NPS 11 NOIGRCA 100101, and the title is repeated consistently across the announcement.
