Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued a notice of intent for a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Ethnohistory of Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR6068120029). The award is planned as a cooperative agreement under the NPS Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), and it falls within the Natural Resources funding activity category. The purpose, as reflected by the title, is to support an ethnohistorical study connected to Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site, which typically involves researching and documenting the historical experiences, cultural interactions, and perspectives of Indigenous communities and other groups associated with the site, using a mix of archival sources, oral histories, and interdisciplinary historical methods.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of Arizona, made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which provides authority for certain noncompetitive actions when specific criteria are met. Because it is framed as a CESU task agreement, the structure is intended to support cooperative research and training aligned with the mission of the National Park System, rather than a standard open grant competition.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $72,500. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The listing references CFDA number 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), indicating the federal assistance program area under which this agreement is administered. The posting date and creation date were both June 8, 2012, with a closing date of June 13, 2012, and an archive date of July 13, 2012. Although the posting includes a closing date, in practice the announcement functions mainly as a public notice documenting the government intent to fund a specific partner noncompetitively, rather than a window for the public to apply.
For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement materials, the notice provides a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
