Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Catalog Western Archeological and Conservation Center Archives" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100110373) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support work connected to natural resource stewardship and the management of National Park System resources. The activity is being issued through the NPS Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism, specifically as a task agreement. CESUs are partnership frameworks that NPS and other federal agencies use to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, education, and related capacity-building efforts that support public land and resource management.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, and it is being issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which covers circumstances where noncompetitive awards are appropriate. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for a single recipient: the University of Arizona. Because of that, other entities are not being invited to submit proposals, and the standard competitive review process does not apply.
The purpose of the work, as reflected in the title and brief description, is to catalog archives associated with the Western Archeological and Conservation Center (WACC). In practical terms, a project like this typically involves organizing, describing, and improving access to archival holdings that document archeological investigations and conservation activities. That can include creating or updating inventories, organizing finding aids, standardizing metadata, and ensuring archival records are properly tracked so they can be located and used by NPS staff, researchers, and other authorized users. Although the short public notice does not lay out a full scope of work, the emphasis is clearly on archival cataloging tied to NPS resource programs and long-term stewardship of information and collections.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $29,670. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posted and creation dates were July 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, and an archive date of August 26, 2011. Those dates reinforce that this is essentially an administrative public notice tied to an intended award rather than an open call for proposals. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning the project with cooperative research, documentation, and training support for NPS mission needs.
