Opportunity Summary:
The Development of Online Launch Calendar, Phase II opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP16AC00319) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the work falls under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.945). The announcement describes this as a Phase II effort focused on developing an online launch calendar, indicating a continuation or expansion of work previously started under an earlier phase.
This posting is not a standard open competition. It is specifically a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award, and the award is expected to be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, that means NPS is signaling it plans to fund a specific partner or a limited set of eligible CESU participants rather than soliciting proposals broadly from the public. The noncompetitive basis is cited as consistent with Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the internal DOI authority used to justify and document when competition is not required for a particular financial assistance action.
Only one award is anticipated (Expected Awards: 1). The listing shows an Award Ceiling of $0, which typically indicates the public synopsis does not specify a maximum funding amount in the entry itself and that the actual dollar value is likely defined in the attached announcement or in the subsequent task agreement documentation. The opportunity was created and posted on March 10, 2016, with both the original and current closing date listed as March 19, 2016, reflecting a short posting window consistent with a notice-of-intent/noncompetitive action rather than a full competitive grant cycle.
Eligibility is summarized as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility details in the full announcement. Given the CESU context, eligible entities commonly include the specific CESU network partners (often universities, nonprofit research organizations, and other collaborators) that are part of that cooperative ecosystem studies framework, but the definitive eligibility constraints for this action would be contained in the attached announcement referenced in the synopsis.

9) What does "notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award" mean in practical terms?
It means NPS is signaling it intends to fund a specific partner or a limited set of eligible entities rather than inviting proposals broadly. The posting functions more as a public synopsis of an intended award than as a typical competitive grant call.
10) How is the award expected to be made?
The award is expected to be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU).
11) What is the CESU connection and why does it matter?
The opportunity is tied to the Colorado Plateau CESU, which typically means eligibility and award mechanics are connected to participation in that cooperative ecosystem studies framework. In this context, the posting indicates the award is not broadly competed and is expected to be executed via a CESU task agreement structure.
12) What is the cited authority for making a noncompetitive award?
The noncompetitive basis is cited as consistent with Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C (505 DM 2.12C), which is the internal DOI authority used to justify and document situations where competition is not required for a particular financial assistance action.
13) How many awards does the agency expect to make?
Only one award is anticipated (Expected Awards: 1).
14) What is the award ceiling (maximum funding amount)?
The listing shows an Award Ceiling of $0. This usually means the public synopsis does not specify the maximum amount within the entry itself, and the actual funding level is likely defined in the attached announcement or in the subsequent task agreement documentation.
15) Does an award ceiling of $0 mean there is no funding?
Not necessarily. In many postings, an award ceiling of $0 can indicate that the funding amount is not stated in the public synopsis and will instead be detailed elsewhere (for example, in an attachment or in the task agreement).

Both the original and current closing date are listed as March 19, 2016.
18) What does the short posting window suggest?
The short window (March 10 to March 19, 2016) is consistent with a notice-of-intent/noncompetitive action rather than a full competitive grant cycle with a longer proposal preparation period.
19) Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is summarized as "Others", with a note to consult the additional eligibility details in the full announcement.
20) Does "Others" mean anyone can apply?
No. The synopsis indicates eligibility details must be confirmed in the full announcement. Because this action is linked to a CESU task agreement and is identified as noncompetitive, it likely targets specific eligible CESU participants rather than the general public.
21) What types of organizations are commonly eligible under CESU-based opportunities?
Based on the CESU context described, eligible entities commonly include CESU network partners, which often include universities, nonprofit research organizations, and other collaborators within the cooperative ecosystem studies framework. The definitive eligibility requirements for this action are stated to be in the attached announcement referenced in the synopsis.
22) Where should applicants look for the definitive eligibility rules and funding details?
The synopsis indicates that the attached announcement (and potentially the subsequent task agreement documentation) is where the authoritative eligibility constraints and dollar value details are expected to be found.
23) What does "Phase II" imply for applicants and project scope?
"Phase II" implies the work is a continuation or expansion of earlier work. The synopsis frames this as further development related to an online launch calendar, rather than a brand-new concept being competed from scratch.
