Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" from the U.S. Department of the Interior for a project called "Development of a GIS Database of Cultural Resources and Environmental Change at Kalaupapa National Historical Park." The key point is that it is not an open call for proposals. Instead, the NPS is formally informing the public that it plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a pre-existing partnership mechanism, and it intends to do so without full and open competition.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, issued under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The work is being carried out through Task Agreement P12AC15067 under a larger Cooperative Agreement (P12AC8R001) with Idaho State University. Idaho State University is participating as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a framework the federal government uses to collaborate with universities and other partners on research and technical projects that support land and resource management. The funding activity category is listed under Humanities, reflecting the cultural resources focus (with ties to cultural affairs in the CFDA structure).
In practical terms, the project is aimed at building a GIS (Geographic Information System) database that brings together information on cultural resources at Kalaupapa National Historical Park and links that information to environmental change. While the notice does not spell out detailed technical tasks, a project of this title typically involves compiling and organizing spatial data (maps, site locations, features, landscapes, and related documentation), standardizing formats and metadata, and creating a geospatial framework that can be used to track and analyze how environmental factors (such as erosion, storm impacts, sea level influences, vegetation change, or other landscape shifts) may affect culturally significant places and resources over time. The end result is generally intended to support park planning, resource protection, interpretation, and long-term management by giving the park a structured, mappable, and updateable dataset.
The announcement lists an expected award count of one, which aligns with the intent to make a single non-competitive award to the named partner. The total estimated funding is $65,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $65,000, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligible applicants are described as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because this is a notice of intent to award rather than a solicitation, the eligibility category is more a reflection of the type of organization involved than an invitation for other entities to apply.
The timeline in the notice reflects the administrative posting and archiving dates rather than an application window. It was posted and created on August 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2012, and an archive date of September 20, 2012. In this context, the "closing" date functions more like the end of the public notice period for the intent-to-award posting, not a deadline for submitting proposals.
For anyone who needed access to the full announcement or had trouble retrieving it electronically, the point of contact listed is Cameron Reed, Grants Management Specialist, with a phone number (415-623-2253) and email address (cameronreed@nps.gov).
