Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Chickamauga and Chattanooga NMP Visitor Survey grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00224) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the National Park Service (NPS) to support work related to natural resource and National Park System research and training. The effort is structured as a cooperative agreement and is intended to produce a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, this means the work is being carried out through the CESU network, which NPS uses to partner with universities and other research institutions for projects that require collaborative research, technical expertise, and public benefit outcomes.
This announcement is a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation. It is explicitly described as a noncompetitive, single-source award issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). Because of that designation, the posting is not asking the public to submit applications or compete for the funding. Instead, NPS states that the award is intended for a specific recipient: Washington State University. The eligibility field reflects this by noting that it is not a request for applications and by listing the eligible applicant type as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility information.
The project itself is described as a visitor survey associated with Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park (NMP). While the summary text does not provide the survey methodology or deliverables, the title and context indicate the funded work would involve collecting and analyzing visitor-related information, likely to inform park management, interpretation, visitor services, and planning decisions. The funding activity aligns with CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), which is commonly used for research, monitoring, education, and related analytical work that supports NPS stewardship and operations.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $47,206, with an expected number of awards equal to one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which typically signals that the precise award amount and boundaries are not being presented as part of a competitive range because the action is a single-source, task-agreement-based award rather than a standard competitive grant program.
Key dates indicate how limited the window was for this notice: it was posted and created on March 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 25, 2014, and an archive date of April 24, 2014. Since the notice is not an application request, these dates function more as public posting and administrative timing rather than a true application deadline for prospective applicants.
