Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Continuation of Restoration Effectiveness Program (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00911) is a discretionary funding action administered by the National Park Service (NPS) under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). It is structured as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to the resources of the National Park System. The purpose of the notice is to support continued work under the Restoration Effectiveness Program, with the mechanism being a task agreement issued through the CESU framework rather than a stand-alone open competition.
This notice is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, and it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is announcing its intent to fund a specific partner for a specific scope of work, instead of inviting proposals from the public. The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for this approach, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides authority and internal requirements for noncompetitive awards under appropriate circumstances. The eligible applicant information clarifies the intended recipient: Colorado State University. While the general eligibility field lists "Others," the accompanying eligibility statement makes clear that this particular action is already designated as a single-source award.
In terms of funding and scale, the opportunity indicates an estimated total funding amount of $50,000 and anticipates a single award. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award floor and ceiling are listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not using Grants.gov fields to define a competitive range, or when the total amount is handled through the associated task agreement documentation rather than through variable award sizing.
The timeline posted for the notice shows it was posted and created on June 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2015, and an archive date of July 18, 2015. Because this is not an open solicitation, the closing date functions more as an administrative window for publishing the intent notice rather than a deadline for external applicants to submit proposals. Anyone seeking the full documentation was directed to contact the listed grants management specialist, Kelly Adams, at 303-969-2303, particularly if they had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
