Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Bighorn Canyon History: The River Before the Dam" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1242100023) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action that was issued as a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It is structured as a cooperative agreement and is associated with the Natural Resources funding activity category. The purpose, as indicated by the title and description, is to support historical work related to Bighorn Canyon, focusing on the river and its history prior to the construction of a dam, which typically implies research, documentation, and interpretive products that help the park preserve and present historical context about landscape change and river use over time.
This notice makes clear that it is not a request for applications and is not competitive. Instead, it is a single-source award to the University of Montana, issued under the framework of the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks that allow federal agencies and universities or other partners to collaborate on research, technical assistance, and educational projects, and task agreements are a common mechanism used to fund specific, scoped pieces of work under that umbrella. The announcement also cites DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which refers to Department of the Interior policy provisions that allow for noncompetitive awards under certain justified circumstances.
In terms of scale and logistics, the opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $51,095. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is often a posting convention in older federal opportunity records when the precise obligated amount is handled through the associated agreement documentation rather than through the public listing fields. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are both September 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2010, and an archive date of October 18, 2010, reflecting that the public notice window was brief and primarily informational since outside applications were not being solicited.
Eligibility is listed generically as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility narrative clarifies the practical reality: this announcement is not open for competition and is intended solely for the University of Montana. Anyone seeking the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically was directed to contact William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, at 303-969-2891.
