Opportunity Summary:
The "Lake Clark National Park and Preserve Ice Patch Archaeology Year 4" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR9855110030) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource-related work through a cooperative agreement. The project is associated with ice patch archaeology at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, continuing into a fourth year of effort, which typically suggests ongoing field and research activities tied to archaeological materials emerging from or preserved in perennial ice features. The listing indicates the work will be implemented through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), using a task agreement mechanism, which is a common approach for NPS to partner with universities and other research entities for targeted scientific and cultural resource projects.
A key point is that this notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency is not seeking proposals from the general public or from multiple institutions; instead, it is documenting its intention to issue an award to a specific partner. The announcement states that the intended recipient is the University of New Mexico, and the "Eligible Applicants" field is effectively overridden by the eligibility clarification that this is a single-source award rather than an open call for applications.
From the funding perspective, the estimated total funding amount is listed as $120,000, with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching is required, which means the recipient would not be expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which often occurs in notices like this when the posting is primarily informational and the actual award amount and structure are governed through the task agreement documents rather than through a standard competitive funding range.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on July 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 31, 2011, and an archive date of August 30, 2011. Because it is not a request for applications, the closing date functions more like the end of the public notice period than a deadline for proposal submission. The program is associated with CFDA 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with cooperative research partnerships intended to support NPS stewardship responsibilities.
