Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Bad Pass Trail Ethnographic Research/Fieldwork opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00887) is a discretionary funding action administered by the National Park Service under a cooperative agreement. It sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The NPS indicates the award will be made through a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework commonly used by the Department of the Interior to support research, technical assistance, and educational activities tied to public land management needs.
This posting is not an open competition or a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The announcement explicitly states that the intended recipient is Northwest College, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply under this notice. The listing includes "Eligible Applicants: Others," but the accompanying eligibility language clarifies that it is a single-source action and therefore not open for broader applicant consideration.
The anticipated number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,956. No cost sharing or matching is required. The funding opportunity shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically reflects that the specific budget parameters are handled within the task agreement documentation rather than expressed as a competitive range in the public synopsis.
The opportunity was posted and created on June 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 14, 2014, and an archive date of July 14, 2014. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the closing date functions more as an administrative timeframe for the public posting rather than a deadline for proposal submissions. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
