Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Assist with Archives Initiative Planning" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100110372) is a discretionary grant notice issued by the National Park Service under a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. It sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The purpose of the action is to support planning work tied to an "Archives Initiative," with the award structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks used by Interior agencies and others to obtain research, technical assistance, and capacity from academic and other partners, and this notice indicates the work will be executed through that established cooperative mechanism.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The eligibility language reinforces that point: the intended recipient is the University of Arizona, and the posting is effectively informational rather than an open call. As a result, the "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled "Others (see text...)," but the accompanying eligibility statement clarifies that only the named institution is expected to receive the award under this specific action.
In terms of funding details, the estimated total funding amount listed is $30,919, with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which often appears in legacy listings when the agency is not using those fields to define a competitive range, especially for a single-source cooperative agreement where the total is already specified.
The timing of the notice reflects a short administrative posting window. It was posted and created on July 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, and later archived on August 26, 2011. Because it is not an application-based competition, the closing date is better understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submissions from the broader public.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. The description also notes that additional information is contained in an attached announcement, implying that specifics about the archives planning scope, deliverables, or task agreement requirements would be detailed in that supplemental document rather than in the summary fields.
