Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Mitigate Graffiti on the Onate panel, Inscription Rock" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7190120023) is a discretionary grant action intended to support natural resource protection work within the National Park System. The project focuses on mitigating graffiti impacts on the Onate panel at Inscription Rock, a culturally significant feature within El Morro National Monument in New Mexico, where centuries of inscriptions and markings are preserved on the rock face. The core purpose is to address modern vandalism in a way that protects the integrity of the historic and cultural resource, using appropriate conservation techniques and expertise.
This opportunity is being issued as a cooperative agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism used by DOI agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and resource management projects. The notice is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" for a noncompetitive award, meaning it is not an open competition and is not soliciting proposals from the general public. Instead, it is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which allows single-source awards when specific criteria are met, such as when a particular institution is uniquely qualified or when continuity and specialized expertise are needed.
Eligibility is therefore limited in practice to a single recipient: the University of New Mexico. The announcement makes clear that it is "not a request for applications" and that the NPS intends to make a single-source award to UNM. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, indicating the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
From a funding and timing standpoint, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $28,707. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0 in the posting, which commonly indicates that fixed minimums/maximums were not formally set in the public listing even though an estimated project amount is provided. The opportunity was posted and created on June 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2012, and it was archived on July 25, 2012. Those dates align with the fact that the announcement functions more as a formal public notice of an intended noncompetitive action than as a window for competing submissions.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The NPS lists a grants management point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
