Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Chaco Landscapes Conferences" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01703) is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources funding activity category. It was posted on September 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 13, 2014, and it was later archived on October 13, 2014. The estimated total funding amount associated with this action is $94,597. No award ceiling or award floor is specified, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The NPS indicates the award will be made via a task agreement, which typically means the work is being issued under an existing cooperative framework (in this case, the CESU network) to support research, technical assistance, and training that align with NPS mission needs. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach, signaling that the agency has determined a sole-source award is appropriate under its internal procurement and financial assistance rules.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility narrative clarifies that this is a single-source award to the University of Colorado Boulder, and it explicitly states that the announcement is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not being invited to apply and there is no open competition for this particular funding action.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The project focus, reflected in the title, involves "Chaco Landscapes Conferences," implying support for convenings or conference activities connected to Chaco-area landscapes and related National Park System resource topics, carried out in coordination with the CESU partner institution.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed NPS contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303, particularly for anyone who cannot access the announcement electronically.
