Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Conduct Tribal Consultation to Publish a Notice of Inventory Completion" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR8650120004) is a discretionary cooperative agreement action focused on natural resources work within the National Park System. The project is tied to the NPS Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) and is structured as a task agreement that supports NPS efforts to carry out tribal consultation work needed to publish a Notice of Inventory Completion. In practical terms, this type of effort typically involves coordinating consultation with Tribal Nations and documenting outcomes so the agency can complete required public notices and related compliance steps associated with inventories.
This posting is not a typical open grant competition. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The announcement states that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for a single recipient: the University of Arizona. Because it is a single-source action, other organizations are not being invited to submit proposals through this notice, even though the general eligibility field lists "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information for clarification.
The opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,946. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often appears in older federal postings when a specific ceiling is not entered into the system or when the total funding figure is provided separately as the primary budget indicator.
The opportunity was posted and created on December 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of January 3, 2012, and it was archived on February 2, 2012. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with CESU-style cooperative agreements where federal agencies partner with universities and other entities to obtain technical support, research, and assistance with program needs.
