Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Assessing the Annual Sediment Budget on a Reach of the Toklat River" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00526) is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resources research within the National Park System. The project is aimed at evaluating or quantifying the annual sediment budget for a specific reach of the Toklat River, which typically means accounting for how much sediment enters, moves through, is stored within, and exits a river segment over a year. This type of work is commonly used to understand channel dynamics, erosion and deposition patterns, habitat conditions, and how river systems may be responding to climate, hydrology, or landscape change, especially in park-managed environments.
This notice is not an open competition. It is a Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a noncompetitive cooperative agreement award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement states the award will be made as a task agreement under the CESU framework and is being issued in accordance with the Department of the Interior guidance at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the department-level policy that allows and governs certain noncompetitive or single-source financial assistance actions when specific criteria are met. In practical terms, this means the National Park Service had already identified the intended recipient and was publicly posting the notice as part of required transparency and documentation rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
The sole intended recipient is Colorado State University, and the eligibility language makes clear that the announcement is not a request for applications. The "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled "Others," but the accompanying eligibility clarification specifies the single-source nature of the award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, collaboration on methods, study design, field coordination, data sharing, or review of deliverables) rather than simply providing funding with minimal federal participation, as is more typical of a standard grant.
The estimated total funding amount listed for the action is $68,266. No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which often reflects that the funding amount is being managed through the task agreement and internal budgeting process rather than being presented as a competitive range for applicants. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research partnerships intended to support science, resource stewardship, and management needs in national parks.
The notice was posted on May 5, 2014, created the same day, and carried a very short public posting window with an original and current closing date of May 9, 2014. It was later archived on June 8, 2014. For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
