Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "National Park Service Analysis of Ecological Monitoring Data from Sonoran Desert Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00159) is a discretionary funding action that the agency issued as a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. The work is to be supported through a cooperative agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework commonly used by NPS to collaborate with universities and other research institutions on science and resource management needs. The focus area falls under Natural Resources, specifically analyzing ecological monitoring data collected from national park units in the Sonoran Desert region.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications and is not competitive. Instead, it is a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of Arizona, and it is being processed under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where noncompetitive awards are allowable. In practical terms, that means the agency already selected the recipient and is publicly posting the intent to make the award for transparency and administrative compliance, not to solicit additional applicants.
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, indicating the recipient is not expected to contribute additional funds as a condition of receiving the federal support. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically reflects that a fixed upper or lower limit was not specified in the standard fields, even though the estimated total funding is provided elsewhere in the record.
Key dates reflect the administrative posting and archival timeline rather than a competitive submission window. The notice was posted and created on March 27, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2013, and an archive date of May 1, 2013. Because the announcement is not seeking applications, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period than a true deadline for proposal submission.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System. Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," but the eligibility clarification makes it clear that this particular action is intended as a single-source award to the University of Arizona. For anyone needing access to the full announcement or encountering technical issues, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
