Conserve Yosemites Ethnographic Collections | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Conserve Yosemites Ethnographic Collections" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00205) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating its intent to make an award, rather than an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not a request for applications and there is no competitive application process associated with this posting. The purpose of publishing it on Grants.gov is to give the public formal notice that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a pre-identified partner, without full and open competition.

This award is being issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it falls under the discretionary funding category. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, as opposed to a more hands-off grant structure. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs connected to resources of the National Park System.

The NPS intends to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $64,331. The posting lists no award ceiling and no award floor, which is common in notices of intent where a specific budget amount is already anticipated for a defined agreement and task. There is also no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute matching funds as a condition of the award.

The intended recipient is the Regents of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), acting as a partner under the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The work will be executed under Task Agreement P15AC01218, which sits under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676). This structure indicates the project is being implemented through an established cooperative framework that NPS uses to collaborate with qualified research and academic institutions, often to access specialized expertise, facilities, or professional capacity.

The project itself is titled "Conserve Yosemites Ethnographic Collections." While the announcement does not provide a detailed scope of work, the title indicates the activities are focused on conservation efforts related to Yosemite National Parks ethnographic collections. Ethnographic collections typically include culturally significant objects, materials, and associated documentation connected to the lived traditions and histories of communities, including Indigenous communities and other cultural groups with ties to the park. Conservation in this context usually refers to professional preservation tasks such as condition assessments, stabilization or treatment of fragile items, improved storage and housing methods, and related documentation work that supports long-term care, accessibility, and responsible stewardship.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 20, 2015, with an archive date of August 29, 2015. Both the original and current closing dates state that this is not a request for applications, reinforcing that there is no submission window for external applicants. Although the eligibility category lists "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," that information is largely informational here because the award is already intended for a specific institution via the CESU partnership mechanism.

For anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it online, the listed point of contact is Lilette Baltodano at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251 or by email at LiletteBaltodano@nps.gov.
