Opportunity Summary:
This National Park Service (NPS) funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00040) relates to a specific geologic mapping project for the Obed Wild and Scenic River (often abbreviated as OBED). The core deliverable is geologic map coverage built and delivered in a GIS format for three USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles: Lancing, Hebbertsburg, and Fox Creek. These three quadrangles are the remaining pieces needed to complete the geologic map coverage for the Obed Wild and Scenic River area, meaning the work is intended to fill mapping gaps and bring the park unit's geologic GIS dataset to a complete, consistent standard across its footprint.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. In practice, that signals the NPS anticipated being substantially involved with the recipient during the project (for example, coordinating standards, reviewing interim products, or aligning the work with NPS geologic mapping protocols). The activity categories emphasize science and technology, natural resources, and information/statistics, which fits the nature of GIS-based geologic mapping and the data management requirements that typically come with it.
A key point in the notice is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice of the NPS intention to fund the project without full and open competition. That wording generally indicates a planned, directed award to a specific partner rather than a competitive grant round. Even though the notice appears on Grants.gov, it is essentially an announcement of intent to make a single award under the stated terms rather than an open call inviting multiple proposals.
Funding is shown as an estimated total of $43,530, with an expected number of awards of one. The posting and timing information places it in March 2014 (posted March 12, created March 13), with a short window to the closing date of March 18, 2014, and an archive date of March 25, 2014. No cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligible applicants are limited to institutions of higher education, including both private universities/colleges and public or state-controlled institutions. The assistance listing references CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is commonly used for research and technical assistance activities that support NPS resource stewardship goals. Overall, the notice is best understood as a targeted cooperative research/mapping action to produce GIS-ready geologic map data for three specific quadrangles, completing the OBED geologic mapping coverage for NPS management, planning, and interpretation uses.
For additional details, the notice points to Grants.gov, and it provides a direct contact at NPS for access issues: Brian Straka, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 865-436-1217 and brianstraka@nps.gov.
