Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Geoscientists is the Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOP11AT70915) is a discretionary cooperative agreement action in the Natural Resources funding activity area under CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). It is structured specifically as a task agreement issued under an already existing cooperative agreement (H2360086068), rather than as a brand-new standalone program. The core purpose is to support the Geoscientists in the Parks program, which places geoscientists into NPS units for short-term assignments to carry out geoscience-focused projects that help parks address resource stewardship needs.
The announcement indicates NPS expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $448,792. The award ceiling is also listed as $448,792, with no award floor specified (shown as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status that are not institutions of higher education, and the action is identified for placement with the Geological Society of America.
Although it appears in the grant system as a posting, the notice functions primarily as a "notice of intent" and describes the planned award as non-competitive, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) as the basis for making the award without full and open competition. In practical terms, this means the NPS had already determined the intended recipient and was publicly documenting that decision and its justification under applicable federal departmental policy. The posting dates reflect a very short window: it was posted and created on August 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2011, and it was archived on September 28, 2011.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
