Opportunity Summary:
The Geoscientists in the Park opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOINWASOJ2360101022 0001) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support short-term geoscience work in units of the National Park System. Rather than being a brand-new, open competition, this notice describes a modification to an existing task agreement (J2360100122). In practical terms, it means the NPS is continuing or adjusting an already-established cooperative effort so geoscientists can be placed in parks to carry out defined geoscience projects on a limited-term basis.
The program itself, Geoscientists in the Parks, focuses on staffing needs and project delivery: placing qualified geoscientists in NPS sites to complete specific natural resource and geoscience assignments. These projects can include a range of applied work that parks commonly need, such as geologic mapping support, hazard or erosion documentation, inventory and monitoring related to geologic resources, data compilation, interpretive content support tied to geology, and other hands-on science tasks that can be completed within a short placement. The key idea is targeted, project-based assistance that helps parks address geoscience priorities without requiring long-term permanent positions.
This funding action is structured as a cooperative agreement, with a natural resources activity focus. The notice states that the modification will be issued on a non-competitive basis to the Geological Society of America (GSA) under the existing task agreement. In other words, although the listing includes an eligibility category (nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education), the agency is not soliciting competing proposals for this particular action. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a non-competitive award, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) as the basis for proceeding without competition.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $0. The expected number of awards is 1, consistent with the intent to modify and continue work with the existing partner rather than select multiple recipients. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which means the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
The timeline in the listing reflects how limited and administrative this announcement is. It was posted and created on September 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 22, 2010, and it was archived on October 22, 2010. Those dates align with a notice-of-intent format where the agency is documenting an intended non-competitive action rather than running a full application window.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or having questions about the electronic posting, the contact listed is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
