National Park Service CCM Stabilize the Historic Rowsell Mining Cabin in the Standard Mining District | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service CCM Stabilize the Historic Rowsell Mining Cabin in the Standard Mining District" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01516) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice aimed at stabilizing a historic mining-era structure known as the Rowsell Mining Cabin located in the Standard Mining District. The activity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to the Resources of the National Park System and Cooperative Research and Training Programs CFDA listing (15.945). In practical terms, the project is about preserving a historic resource associated with the National Park System by supporting work that prevents further deterioration and helps protect the cabin's historic integrity.

This notice is specifically a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award, meaning it is not being opened as a standard competitive grant solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals for review against each other. Instead, the National Park Service indicates it plans to issue a task agreement under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are collaborative partnerships used by federal agencies to conduct research, technical assistance, and educational services, often by leveraging established cooperative frameworks. Here, the CESU mechanism is being used to carry out the stabilization work through a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement during the performance of the project (for example, coordination on methods, compliance, or technical direction), rather than a more hands-off relationship that might occur under a traditional grant.

The announcement cites the Department of the Interior's policy authority for making a noncompetitive award, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. That reference is essentially the agency's justification pathway for proceeding without full and open competition under applicable internal rules. The notice also directs readers to the attached announcement for additional detail, indicating that the key technical scope of work, deliverables, and administrative requirements would be laid out in that attachment rather than in the short synopsis.

Funding for the action is modest, with an estimated total funding amount of $29,500. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as $0), which commonly appears in synopses when a single estimated amount is provided and the agency does not want to represent the ceiling/floor fields as controlling limits. The National Park Service anticipates making one award (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a defined non-federal share as a condition of the award.

Eligibility, as reflected in the synopsis, is limited to nonprofits holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Because the award is designated noncompetitive and tied to a CESU task agreement, eligibility in the general sense may be less relevant to the practical reality of who can receive the award, since CESU task agreements are typically executed with partners already within the CESU network and consistent with that program's cooperative structure.

Key timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on August 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2015, and an archive date of September 21, 2015. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent/noncompetitive action, where the purpose is often to provide public notice rather than to solicit a broad pool of applications.

For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
