Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Chickamauga and Chattanooga NMP Visitor Survey grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00079) is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a noncompetitive cooperative agreement award for work related to visitor surveying at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. It is issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the work would be carried out through a CESU task agreement mechanism that supports cooperative research and training connected to national park resources and management needs. The funding activity aligns with the Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs tied to Resources of the National Park System.
This posting is not an open call for proposals and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, the announcement states it is a single-source award intended for the University of Idaho. The noncompetitive nature of the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy, specifically 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides the basis for making certain awards without competition when appropriate criteria are met. As a result, while the listing appears in a grants portal format, it functions primarily as a public notice documenting the government’s intent to fund a specific partner for a defined scope of work rather than inviting multiple applicants to compete.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward: one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $47,206. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the agreement. The notice lists no award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which typically indicates that a fixed ceiling/floor was not captured in the summary fields even though an estimated total amount is provided. Key dates show it was posted and created on January 17, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 22, 2014, and an archive date of February 21, 2014. Given that it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the short window between posting and closing is consistent with a procedural posting period rather than a true application period.
For parties seeking additional details, the announcement indicates that more information is contained in an attached document, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392. In practical terms, the most important takeaway is that this opportunity was a formal notice that the National Park Service planned to award a cooperative agreement, through the Rocky Mountain CESU framework, to the University of Idaho to conduct or support a visitor survey effort at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, funded at approximately $47,206, with no matching requirement and no competition for outside applicants.
