Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Document Expressive Culture of Area Dena'ina" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00332) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice that it intends to make a single award under a cooperative agreement, but it is not an open solicitation. In other words, it is not inviting applications from the public; it is a formal public posting meant to document the federal government’s intent to fund a specific project with a specific partner without full and open competition. The agency is the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the opportunity falls under the discretionary funding category using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument.
The purpose of the notice is to announce NPS’s intent to support project activities associated with Task Agreement Number P14AC01651 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001). The identified partner is the University of Alaska Anchorage, which participates through the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. CESUs are collaborative partnerships that help federal agencies work with universities and other organizations on research, technical assistance, education, and related public-purpose projects. Here, the project focus is on documenting the expressive culture of the Area Dena'ina, which generally refers to cultural expressions such as oral traditions, storytelling, language-related practices, songs, dance, artistic traditions, and other forms of intangible cultural heritage connected to the Dena'ina people and their homeland.
From a funding perspective, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $60,992 and anticipates one award. There is no stated award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which commonly appears in notices that are primarily informational and tied to a specific pre-identified agreement rather than a competitive grant program. The posting indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, identified as "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," situating the project within NPS-supported research and documentation efforts related to national park resources, including cultural resources.
The eligibility section lists "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," consistent with the University of Alaska Anchorage being the intended recipient and consistent with the broader CESU framework that often centers on university partnerships. Key dates reinforce that this is not a competitive cycle: it was posted and created on September 3, 2014, and the closing date fields explicitly state "This is not a request for applications." The archive date is September 10, 2014, which reflects how long the notice was kept active for public viewing in the grants listing system.
For anyone seeking additional documentation, the notice references Grants.gov as the platform where the announcement appeared and provides a contact for access issues: Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, reachable at 415-623-2251 and lilettebaltodano@nps.gov. Overall, the announcement functions as transparency documentation for a non-competitive cooperative agreement action by NPS to support a targeted cultural documentation project with the University of Alaska Anchorage focused on the Area Dena'ina’s expressive cultural traditions.
