Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Documentation of Newly Discovered Native american Petroglyphs" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIGRSMJ3086100088) to support detailed documentation of a newly discovered group of prehistoric Native American petroglyphs located in the Washington, DC area. The core purpose of the project is to create high-quality, defensible records of the rock art using advanced technical methods that can capture fine surface detail and preserve information for research, management, and long-term cultural resource protection.
The work described focuses on Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) combined with 3D documentation and reflective imagery. In practical terms, this indicates the project is meant to produce precise three-dimensional measurements of the petroglyph surfaces and surrounding context, along with imagery techniques that enhance the visibility of carved or pecked features. These outputs typically support multiple needs at once: establishing a baseline condition record, enabling detailed analysis without repeated site visits, assisting with monitoring for erosion or vandalism, and creating shareable digital products that can be used by archaeologists, park managers, and cultural resource specialists.
The funding mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, with the National Park Service listed as the issuing agency. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an exact total funding amount of $73,500. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $73,500, meaning the agency intended one fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. No cost sharing or matching was required, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is effectively restricted by the way the announcement is structured. The notice states it is a Notice of Intent to award a task agreement to the University of South Florida under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Cooperative Agreement #H5000085041. While the general eligibility field is shown as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the Notice of Intent language indicates the NPS was planning a directed award to that specific institution through the CESU framework, rather than an open competitive call for a broad pool of applicants.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on September 28, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2010, and it was archived on October 1, 2010. The very short open window aligns with the Notice of Intent format, which is often used to publicly document an agency's plan to make an award to a specific partner organization. The listing includes a CFDA number shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), suggesting it was not mapped to a standard CFDA program identifier in the public listing.
For administrative or access issues, the point of contact provided was Judith Couch, Financial Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 865-436-1224, with the email address field present but not populated in the provided text.
