Continuation of Inventorying and Monitoring Natural Resources Status and Trends Geologic Resources Inventory | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Continuation of Inventorying and Monitoring Natural Resources Status and Trends Geologic Resources Inventory" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00182) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement to support ongoing work under the agency's Natural Resources Inventorying and Monitoring efforts, specifically focused on the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI). The stated description for the opportunity is brief and points applicants to a "Notice of Intent to Award" attachment for the full programmatic details, scope, and expectations, indicating that the NPS had a defined recipient or a planned continuation award in mind rather than a broadly competitive open solicitation.

This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. In practice, cooperative agreements are commonly used when the federal agency anticipates active collaboration such as coordinating technical standards, providing data or access to NPS resources, participating in project planning and review, or jointly shaping deliverables over the period of performance. The funding activity category spans education, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development, aligning with projects that generate resource inventories, monitoring products, datasets, and interpretive or decision-support information relevant to park management.

The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $963,655. The award ceiling is listed as $963,655, and the award floor is listed as $1, reflecting that the program intended to fund one continuation project up to the full amount identified. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listings associated with the opportunity are 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which are commonly used by NPS for research, technical assistance, and inventory or monitoring partnerships that strengthen stewardship of park resources.

Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That restriction signals the NPS was seeking to work through a university or similar public academic institution capable of supporting specialized geoscience, mapping, database development, and applied research functions connected to the GRI. Although the short public description does not lay out specific tasks, the Geologic Resources Inventory program generally focuses on compiling, standardizing, and delivering geologic information for national parks, often including geologic mapping, geologic reports, GIS data products, and associated documentation that helps parks understand geologic features, processes, hazards, and resource conditions over time. The "continuation" language suggests the work was already underway under a prior agreement and this funding would extend or complete planned inventory and monitoring deliverables.

The opportunity was posted on July 16, 2014, with both the original and current closing date listed as July 29, 2014, indicating a short application window consistent with a notice-of-intent-to-award style action. The agency is the National Park Service, and the announcement directs interested parties to Grants.gov for further information, including the referenced attachment. For assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact person provided is June Zastrow (phone 303-987-6718, email JuneZastrow@nps.gov).
