Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Exhibit Design Acadia National Parks Sieur de Monts Nature Center" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1700120802) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action that would be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs for Resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945). The activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the intent is to support exhibit design work connected to Acadia National Park, specifically the Sieur de Monts Nature Center.
This notice is not a standard, open competition grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for this approach, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which governs circumstances where noncompetitive awards may be appropriate. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified an intended partner and was publicly documenting the intent and rationale for making the award without soliciting proposals from other applicants.
Eligibility is therefore restricted and effectively closed to the general public. The posting explicitly states that it is a single source award to Northern Arizona University, and the "Eligible Applicants" field points to "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility text. Because it is not a request for applications, other organizations would not be able to apply through this notice, and the short open period reflects that administrative reality rather than a competitive submission window.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $79,941. No cost sharing or matching was required. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which typically indicates that the amount is being handled through the task agreement under the CESU mechanism rather than through a range-based competitive program structure.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on May 25, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2012, and it was archived on June 29, 2012. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
