Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Administrative History of Grand Canyon" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP15AC01343) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant announcement for a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources and the resources of the National Park System. The purpose of the project is to produce an administrative history related to Grand Canyon, meaning a documented account of the park's management, policies, decisions, organizational development, and key events over time as they relate to how the park has been administered. The announcement makes clear that the award is expected to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework NPS uses to partner with qualifying organizations on research, technical assistance, and related work that supports resource stewardship and park operations.
A central feature of this notice is that it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not conducting an open competition among multiple applicants for this specific award. Instead, it indicates the agency intends to make a single award using an exception to competition under Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The opportunity anticipates one award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which typically signals that the definitive budget and final amount are determined in the full announcement and/or through negotiation within the task agreement process rather than being constrained by a stated ceiling in the synopsis.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 15.945, identified as "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with the CESU model and the cooperative agreement instrument type. It also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement (listed as "Yes"), meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of project costs or in-kind support according to the terms described in the full announcement. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education, which narrows the pool to qualifying nonprofit organizations that fit within the CESU and DOI requirements for this action.
Key dates in the synopsis indicate the opportunity was posted and created on July 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2015, and an archive date of September 2, 2015. This suggests it was a short response window and is now archived as a historical posting rather than an active, open solicitation. For parties needing additional details beyond the synopsis, the NPS directed readers to the attached announcement for full information and provided a point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, phone 303-969-2303.
