Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Development of Online Natural Resource Communcation Material" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOP11AT70904. The purpose of the project is the evaluation and development of online natural resource communication materials, meaning the work is aimed at reviewing existing digital communications and creating or improving web-based content that helps convey natural resource information to target audiences. The funding activity aligns with the Natural Resources category and is connected to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System.
This opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard contract or open grant competition. NPS states it will be issued as a task agreement on a non-competitive basis to Colorado State University, using an existing Cooperative Ecosystems Study Unit (CESU) cooperative agreement identified as H2370094000. In practical terms, that means NPS had already established a formal partnership mechanism with Colorado State University through the CESU network, and this specific project would be added as a task under that existing umbrella agreement. The announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a non-competitive award, and it cites Department of the Interior policy (Department Manual 505 DM 2) as the basis for using a non-competitive approach.
The expected number of awards is one, reflecting the fact that the award is intended for a single recipient rather than multiple grantees. The estimated total funding amount is $82,500, and the award ceiling is also $82,500, indicating NPS anticipated funding the full project up to that amount, with no higher maximum contemplated. The award floor is listed as $0, which is a common administrative entry and does not necessarily mean awards of zero dollars would be made. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a specific percentage of non-federal funds to receive the award.
Eligibility is listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which fits the identified recipient (Colorado State University). However, because the award is designated as non-competitive and tied to an existing CESU cooperative agreement, the listing functions more as a formal public notice than an invitation for new applicants to submit proposals. The posting date and creation date are both September 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2011, which further signals the notice-style nature of the announcement rather than a typical multi-week competitive solicitation. The archive date is October 2, 2011, reflecting when the opportunity was scheduled to be moved into an archived status in the system.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
