Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "A Social Normative Study of Backcountry Visitors Acoustic Expectations and Experiences in Denali National Park and Preserve" is a discretionary grant action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose of the effort, as indicated by the title, is to support a research study focused on the acoustic environment in Denali's backcountry, specifically examining what visitors expect to hear (or not hear), what they actually experience while in the backcountry, and how those expectations and experiences align with social norms. In practical terms, the project is meant to generate applied social science information that can help park managers understand visitor perspectives on natural soundscapes, potential human-caused noise, and what levels or types of sound are considered acceptable or disruptive in remote settings.
This announcement is not an open competition. It is a formal notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The eligible applicant is explicitly identified as Colorado State University, meaning other entities are not being invited to submit applications. The posting functions primarily as a public disclosure that the agency plans to fund this specific partner through the CESU mechanism, rather than as a solicitation seeking proposals from multiple applicants.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR9836110019 and is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement instrument type, with the activity area noted as Natural Resources. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the single-source intent. The estimated total funding amount is $55,750, and there is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice was posted on May 10, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 14, 2011, and it was archived on June 13, 2011. No explicit award ceiling or floor is provided in the listing (both shown as zero), which typically indicates that the specific budget details are handled through the task agreement and supporting documentation rather than through a competitive range.
For parties seeking more detail, the announcement references an attached document as the primary source for additional information. The contact listed for access issues is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
