Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Continuation of Inventorying and Monitoring Natural Resources Status and Trends in the National Park System - Geologic Resources Inventory" under Funding Announcement Number P15AS00274. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public through a competitive process. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to provide public notice that the agency intends to make a single, non-competitive award to support continued work connected to the NPS Inventory and Monitoring (I and M) effort focused on natural resource status and trends, specifically through the Geologic Resources Inventory.
The intended recipient is Colorado State University, and the NPS anticipates awarding a total of $773,000. There is no cost share or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient generally has more independent control). The anticipated period of performance and agreement length both run from the date of award through March 31, 2017.
The announcement is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under activity areas that include education, environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development. The listing indicates there is expected to be one award. Eligibility is described as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because this is a notice of intent to award without competition, it functions more as transparency about an already-planned award rather than an open funding competition that eligible entities can apply to.
The statutory authority cited for the award is 54 USC 101702(a) and 54 USC 101702(b). The assistance listing is CFDA 15.945, titled "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System (CESUs)." The justification for making the award without competition is identified as a continuation, indicating the project is a follow-on or extension of ongoing work rather than a new effort being opened up for competing proposals.
Key dates in the notice show the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2015, and an archive date of August 17, 2015. Even though a closing date is displayed, it does not function like a typical application deadline because the notice is not soliciting applications. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is June Zastrow (JuneZastrow@nps.gov), with a phone number of 303-987-6718. The notice references an attached "Notice of Intent to Award Synopsis" document for the full announcement and includes a grants.gov link for additional information.
