Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Conduct Pilot Project to Catalog and Make Archeological Dendrochronology Specimens Web Accessible" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8100100364) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support a pilot effort to organize and make available online a collection of archeological dendrochronology specimens. The core purpose is to improve cataloging and web accessibility for dendrochronological materials associated with archeological research, which typically involves tree-ring dating and related specimen documentation that can be valuable for cultural resource management, research, and long-term preservation of scientific records.

This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award issued under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The award is planned as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative framework commonly used by DOI agencies to partner with academic institutions and other organizations on research, technical assistance, and resource management priorities. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for applications, meaning outside parties are not being invited to submit proposals for consideration.

The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $57,000. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is sometimes used in posted records when specific ceiling/floor parameters are not being expressed in the standard fields even though an estimated total is provided elsewhere. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which generally signals the posting is categorized outside a typical CFDA program listing or that a standard CFDA code was not assigned in the record.

Eligibility is narrowly defined. While the general eligibility field reads "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility information section makes it unambiguous that this is a single-source award to the University of Arizona. In practical terms, that means no other applicants are eligible to compete because the NPS is signaling its intent to directly fund that institution through the CESU mechanism for this particular pilot project.

The posting timeline indicates it was posted and created on August 5, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2010, and an archive date of September 9, 2010. These dates function more like an administrative public-notice window than a true application period, given that the action is noncompetitive and not open for proposal submissions. Anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically was directed to contact William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, at 303-969-2891.
