Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Geometric Documentation and Remote Sensing of the Mangum Site (CESU)" under Funding Opportunity Number AJ5575090072. The project was posted on October 23, 2009 (created October 20, 2009) with an application closing date of October 28, 2009, and it was later archived on November 27, 2009. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expected to remain substantially involved in the project during performance rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.

This opportunity falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is focused on providing professional expertise to conduct geometric documentation and remote sensing work at the Mangum Site. In practical terms, this kind of scope generally involves producing accurate spatial records of a site using measurement-based documentation methods and remotely collected data. While the announcement text is brief, the title and description indicate the primary deliverable would be a rigorous, geometry-based record of the site using remote sensing techniques, likely intended to support resource management, research, and preservation planning.

The NPS anticipated making a single award. The total estimated funding for the project was $20,200, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $20,200, meaning the award amount was fixed rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not have been required to contribute additional non-federal funds to meet a match.

Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, and the title notes "CESU," which commonly refers to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units network. That reference suggests the project was intended to be carried out within a cooperative research partnership framework often used by federal land management agencies to engage universities and similar partners for applied research and technical assistance.

For applicants or others who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at (404) 507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
