Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Digitize Historic Fossil Records BADL" (Funding Opportunity Number: MWRO BADL 15AC00325) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice that it intends to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement, with no competitive application process. In other words, it is not a call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to make an award for work related to digitizing historic fossil records associated with BADL, which refers to Badlands National Park.
The award is tied to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance listing 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, placing it within the broader category of protecting and managing cultural and scientific resources held or managed by the federal government. The funded effort is framed as an "Other" type of funding activity, with the agency explicitly clarifying that the listing exists to announce NPS intent to fund the described activities without competition. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to be involved in the project beyond simply providing funding, such as through collaboration, technical input, coordination, or shared oversight during the period of performance.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000. The award ceiling is also $70,000, meaning the maximum planned amount aligns with the total estimate. The award floor is listed as $0, which is common in postings where the specific minimum is not defined or where the listing format requires a value. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed broadly enough to include certain nonprofit entities that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. Even though eligibility categories are provided, the key operational point is that the announcement is non-competitive and not open for applications, so these eligibility details serve more as formal descriptors of the potential recipient type rather than an invitation for organizations to apply.
Timing information shows it was posted and created on July 23, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2015, and an archive date of August 30, 2015. In the context of non-competitive notices, these dates generally reflect the window during which the public posting is active and available for viewing, rather than an application deadline for submission of proposals.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Julie Hendricks, Lead Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 402-661-1662, with contact available via email or phone.
