Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Conduct Background Research and Pilot Inventory to Determine if unacceptable impacts to Lakeshore Cultural Resources exist in Glen Canyon NRA" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00954) is a discretionary funding action administered by the National Park Service under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The work falls within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial involvement and collaboration between the NPS and the recipient during planning and execution rather than operating as a hands-off contract or a simple pass-through grant.
The purpose of the project is to support background research and a pilot inventory focused on lakeshore cultural resources within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. In practical terms, the project is intended to gather and synthesize existing information (background research) and then test an on-the-ground inventory approach (pilot inventory) to assess whether lakeshore cultural resources are experiencing unacceptable impacts. Lakeshore cultural resources in Glen Canyon NRA can include archeological sites, historic-era features, and other culturally significant materials located along shorelines that may be vulnerable to erosion, fluctuating water levels, recreational use, and other environmental or human-related pressures. The "pilot" aspect signals that the inventory is likely designed to refine methods, confirm what kinds of impacts are present, and help determine how a broader inventory or monitoring effort should be designed in the future.
This announcement is not a public request for applications and does not represent an open competition. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The notice cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for a noncompetitive award (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), indicating the agency has documented justification for awarding without competition. The eligible applicant field reflects this by indicating the opportunity is a single source award specifically to the Museum of Northern Arizona, rather than allowing multiple applicants to apply. As a result, organizations outside the named recipient are not expected to submit proposals under this posting.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $43,118, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting shows one expected award. Award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which is common in notices of intent or announcements that are not true competitive solicitations and where final award figures may be handled through internal agreements or attachments rather than the standard competitive-grant fields.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 17, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2014, and an archive date of July 21, 2014. That short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting meant to provide public transparency about an already identified noncompetitive action, rather than to solicit applications. For those needing access to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
