Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Archeological District Ely Creek/Jones Hole grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC01068) was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. It was issued as a notice of intent to make an award through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to carry out research, technical assistance, and related work with participating institutions. The announcement makes clear that this was not an open, competitive grant solicitation and was instead processed as a noncompetitive, single-source action consistent with the Department of the Interior guidance referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C.
In practical terms, the listing served more as a public notification than an invitation for proposals. The “EligibilityInformation” explicitly states it was not a request for applications and that the intended recipient was Utah State University. While the eligible applicant field is broadly labeled “Others,” the text clarifies that the opportunity was set up for one specific partner under the CESU mechanism, meaning other organizations were not expected to apply or be considered for this particular award.
The total estimated funding amount associated with the project was $50,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting and creation dates were August 5, 2013, and the closing date was August 9, 2013, reflecting a short window typical of notices of intent rather than competitive funding rounds. The opportunity anticipated a single award, and although award ceiling and floor values are shown as $0 in the source data, the estimated total funding indicates the project budget level that the agreement was expected to support.
The assistance listing references CFDA number 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The title indicates the work was associated with an archeological district at Ely Creek/Jones Hole, suggesting the funded task agreement likely supported archeological research, documentation, assessment, or related cultural resource activities within an NPS context, carried out through the CESU partnership structure.
For access issues or administrative questions, the announcement provided a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, specifically for help obtaining the full announcement if there were problems accessing it electronically.
