Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Complete Multiple Property Document and Determination of Eligibility for Backcountry Trails in Yellowstone NP" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00648) is a discretionary funding notice connected to natural resource work within the National Park System. The purpose of the effort is to support completion of a Multiple Property Document (MPD) and related Determinations of Eligibility (DOE) for backcountry trails in Yellowstone National Park, which are steps commonly associated with evaluating historic and cultural resources for potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The work is positioned as part of the National Park Service's responsibilities to document, evaluate, and manage resources under its stewardship, particularly where trail systems may have historic significance or associated cultural values.
This notice is not a standard competitive solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive cooperative agreement issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement states that the award will be made as a task agreement under the CESU framework and that the noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the NPS planned to proceed directly with a specific partner organization rather than open the opportunity to multiple applicants.
Funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $35,000, with an expectation of one award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically reflects posting conventions in some legacy listings rather than a literal lack of funding, since the estimated total funding is provided separately. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified, so the recipient would not be expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is explicitly limited in this case. The listing states that it is a single-source award to the University of Wyoming and emphasizes that the announcement is not a request for applications. While the broader eligible applicant field is labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the key clarification is that the NPS intended to fund only the University of Wyoming through the CESU partnership mechanism.
Timing information shows the opportunity was posted on June 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2013, and an archive date of July 25, 2013. These dates align with a notice-of-intent posting that functions more as public documentation of an intended noncompetitive action than as a window for proposal submissions. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is consistent with cooperative agreements used for research, documentation, and technical support activities related to park resources.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2392, with a note to reach out if there are difficulties accessing the announcement electronically.
