Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Manage FY12 Museum Collection Reporting and Provide Curatorial Support" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR8100120200) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action planned as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The NPS anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $51,349, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award specifically to the University of Arizona. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the recipient organization and intended to execute the work through a task agreement under the CESU framework, rather than opening the opportunity to a broader pool of applicants.
The purpose of the project, as reflected in the title and brief description, is to support FY12 museum collection reporting and to provide curatorial support for National Park Service needs. While the short synopsis does not list detailed tasks, work of this kind typically includes helping parks meet required museum property and collections management reporting, improving documentation and accountability for museum holdings, supporting cataloging and records cleanup, assisting with database accuracy, ensuring compliance with NPS museum standards, and providing professional curatorial guidance that helps parks manage, preserve, and account for collections in line with federal requirements.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted and created on June 18, 2012, with a closing date of June 22, 2012, and an archive date of July 22, 2012. Even though a closing date is listed, the eligibility field clarifies that the posting functioned primarily as an informational notice rather than an open application window, since the award was intended for a single identified recipient.
For parties who needed help accessing the full announcement materials, the NPS provided a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
