Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Continue Cataloging and Making Archival Collections Publicly Accessible" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01367) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support ongoing work to catalog archival holdings and improve public access to those collections. The effort is associated with the stewardship and accessibility of National Park Service archival materials, aligning with the broader goal of preserving and making available resources connected to the National Park System. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System.
This notice is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive nature of the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency is announcing its plan to fund a specific partner organization rather than requesting proposals from the general public. The Eligibility Information field reinforces this by stating that the announcement is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is the University of Arizona.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $147,257. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices where the agency is publishing an intent to award rather than providing a competitive range or inviting variable proposal budgets. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordination, technical guidance, shared responsibilities, or oversight), as opposed to a standard grant where involvement is usually more limited.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on July 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 4, 2014, and an archive date of September 3, 2014. Because this is a single-source notice rather than an open call, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period than a deadline for submitting applications. Anyone needing access to the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, a Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303, particularly if they had trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
In short, this opportunity is best understood as a formal public posting that the National Park Service intended to fund the University of Arizona through a CESU task agreement to continue archival cataloging work and make those archival collections more publicly accessible, using a cooperative agreement framework and without requiring matching funds.
