Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Historic Resources Study Cattle Ranching and Agricultural Practices and an Updated National Register of Historic Places Nomination, PH 1" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support work related to historic resource documentation and preservation planning. It is framed as Phase 1 of a project focused on researching and compiling information about cattle ranching and agricultural practices, and using that research to support an updated nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, which is common for NPS projects that connect cultural history, land use, and resource management, especially when historical land practices have shaped present-day park landscapes.
This funding is being issued through a Cooperative Agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnerships that allow federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and training. In this case, the announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award, meaning it is not open to the general public as a competitive grant opportunity. The eligibility section clarifies that it is not a request for applications and that the award is a single-source action specifically intended for Texas State University. The noncompetitive approach is cited as consistent with Department of the Interior policy, referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides internal authority and procedures for certain sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive assistance awards when justified.
The opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $39,800. The listing does not specify a formal award ceiling or floor (both are shown as zero), which typically indicates the amount is established in the task agreement or supporting documentation rather than through a standard competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The CFDA number associated with the award is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-style cooperative research and technical support tied to NPS needs.
Timing information shows the opportunity was posted on June 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 3, 2012, and an archive date of August 2, 2012. The short open period is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for a predetermined, single-recipient award rather than a competitive solicitation. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
