Opportunity Summary:
The Ethnography Traditional Cultural Property Nomination opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR6068120037) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action focused on natural and cultural resource work within the National Park System. The purpose is to support ethnographic work tied to a Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) nomination, which generally involves documenting and evaluating places that have cultural significance to a living community, often for potential recognition and protection under historic preservation frameworks. The award is being made under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) through a task agreement, meaning it is structured as a cooperative research and training effort rather than a broad, open competition.
This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, specifically to the University of Arizona, and it cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for the noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not being invited to apply and there is no application process for the general public under this posting. The listing may still appear in grants databases for transparency and documentation purposes, but it is explicitly described as "not a request for applications."
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $28,000, with an expected number of awards of one. The posting does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0, which commonly indicates that the agency did not enter those values rather than implying no limit). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The associated CFDA program number is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-style agreements intended to leverage academic and research partners to support NPS resource management needs.
The timeline in the announcement shows it was posted and created on June 21, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2012, and an archive date of July 26, 2012. Because it is a single-source notice of intent, the short open period is consistent with a posting that serves as an administrative notice rather than a competitive window for proposal submissions.
For anyone needing the full announcement text but unable to access it electronically, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
