Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Conduct Documentation and Evaluation of the Significance of the Resources related to the Hole in the Rock Trail" is a discretionary funding action focused on natural resource-related work connected to the Hole in the Rock Trail. The primary purpose is to support a project that documents resources associated with the trail and evaluates their significance, which typically means identifying, describing, and assessing the importance of cultural, historical, and/or natural features tied to that corridor so the NPS can make better-informed management and preservation decisions.
This funding action is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. In practical terms, a cooperative agreement usually indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordination on methods, review of deliverables, and collaborative decision-making). The award is planned as a task agreement issued under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework used by the Department of the Interior and universities and other partners to carry out research, technical assistance, and educational activities that support public land management.
A key point in this announcement is that it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award. It explicitly states that this is not a request for applications and therefore is not open for competition. The eligibility language clarifies that the intended recipient is the University of Colorado Denver, and the noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. Because it is single-source, other organizations are not being solicited to apply, and the posted dates function more as a public notice of the government’s intent rather than an invitation to submit proposals.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.945, which relates to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and resources of the National Park System. The announcement anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $131,219. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which often occurs in notices that are not set up as competitive solicitations with variable request amounts, and instead reflect an internally determined funding level for a specific project or task agreement.
The posting information shows the opportunity was posted and created on July 24, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2015, and an archive date of September 1, 2015. Even though a closing date is provided, the text makes clear the purpose is informational: it announces the intended award rather than collecting applications.
