Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Catalog Historic Photographs and Land and Grazing Records" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100110185) is a discretionary funding notice for a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources-related historical documentation work. The project is intended to support the cataloging and organization of historic photographs along with land and grazing records, which typically helps parks and resource managers preserve institutional knowledge, improve public access to historical materials, and strengthen the administrative record for land use and grazing management decisions. The opportunity is connected to the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a collaborative framework NPS uses to partner with universities and other institutions on research, technical assistance, and resource stewardship activities.
This notice is explicitly not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under Department of the Interior policy referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. In practical terms, that means NPS had already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice to document the rationale and comply with internal and public transparency requirements, rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants. The funding announcement states clearly that it is not a request for applications and that the award will be made to the University of Arizona as the sole recipient. The "Eligible Applicants" field is therefore broader on paper ("Others"), but the eligibility clarification makes it clear that only the named institution is expected to receive the award under this action.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $43,372 with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is common in notices of intent or single-source announcements where the system fields may not be used in the same way as a competitive opportunity; the more meaningful figure here is the estimated total funding amount. The assistance listing is shown as "00.000 Not Elsewhere Classified," which indicates it was not mapped to a more specific CFDA program number in the public posting.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on April 29, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 3, 2011, and an archive date of June 2, 2011. The short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent format, where the agency is not seeking submissions from the public but is instead completing the formal posting period associated with announcing a planned noncompetitive award.
For additional administrative help or access to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392, with instructions to reach out if there are issues accessing the announcement electronically.
