Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Catalog Archives for Six Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8100100118) is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award through the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CP CESU). In practical terms, this is not an open call for proposals and it is not inviting applications from the public. Instead, it formally announces the NPS plan to issue a task agreement to one named partner, the University of Arizona, under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a noncompetitive (single-source) award is appropriate.
The purpose of the project is to support the cataloging of museum collections and archival materials associated with six national park units. The University of Arizona will work in collaboration with NPS staff to ensure these collections are cataloged in a way that aligns with established National Park Service requirements, specifically NPS Management Policies and Director's Order 24 (DO 24), the NPS policy framework that governs museum collections management. The underlying goal is to improve the organization, documentation, and long-term stewardship of museum and archive holdings so they can be properly managed, accessed, and preserved according to federal standards.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project rather than a simple pass-through grant. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, reflecting that well-managed museum and archival collections are considered a core part of resource stewardship and protection within the park system. The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding for the action is $112,405. There is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which often appears in older postings when exact award parameters are handled within the task agreement rather than expressed as a competitive range in the announcement.
Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on April 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 13, 2010, and an archive date of May 13, 2010. Since this is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative timeline marker for the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submission. Eligibility is effectively limited to the single identified recipient, and the announcement explicitly states it is a single source award to the University of Arizona.
