Opportunity Summary:
The Heritage Partnerships Program 3D Digital Documentation Best Practices and Standards opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR1264120044) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resource and National Park System resource support, specifically tied to cooperative research and training activities under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The intent behind the award is to support work related to best practices and standards for 3D digital documentation, which typically refers to guidance, methods, and quality standards for capturing and managing three-dimensional digital records of heritage resources (for example, historic structures, archeological resources, cultural landscapes, museum objects, or other significant park assets). The announcement indicates that the action will be implemented through a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a framework NPS uses to partner with academic and other institutions for research, technical assistance, and training.
This is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practice, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice for transparency and recordkeeping rather than to invite applications from the broader public. The eligibility section makes this point plainly: it is not a request for applications, and the award is intended for the University of Colorado Denver. The "Eligible Applicants" field is listed as "Others," but the eligibility clarification explains that the action is single-source to that institution.
From a funding perspective, the estimated total funding amount is $48,555, with an expected number of awards of one. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates there will be substantial involvement by the National Park Service during the period of performance (for example, collaboration on technical direction, coordination, review of deliverables, and alignment with NPS standards and program needs), rather than the agency simply providing funds and stepping back.
Timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on August 8, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2012, and an archive date of September 12, 2012. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive call, the short window is less about proposal development and more about the administrative posting period associated with the planned award action.
Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
