Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "GTSR Corridor Management Plan Visitor Management Research" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR1434120039) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resource management and visitor use research. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $116,920. The notice anticipated a single award and did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The associated CFDA listing is 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and was explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it served as a formal notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to the University of Montana. The NPS indicated that the award would be made through a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism commonly used by federal agencies to support research, technical assistance, and education through member institutions. The noncompetitive approach was justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides internal authority and conditions for making certain awards without open competition.
Key administrative details include a posted and creation date of June 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 11, 2012. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which typically signals that the funding amount is handled through the associated task agreement terms rather than through a standard competitive range posted in the announcement. Eligible applicants were broadly labeled as "Others," but the eligibility clarification makes clear that this specific action was directed to a single recipient, the University of Montana, rather than open to the general public or other institutions.
For parties who needed access to the full announcement but had trouble obtaining it electronically, the NPS provided a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
