Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Continued Development of National Trails IMR Geographic Information System ADDITIONAL FUNDING" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00676MOD1) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resource work that supports the National Trails program through continued development of an Intermountain Region (IMR) Geographic Information System (GIS) capability. In practical terms, the purpose is to provide additional funding to keep building, improving, or maintaining GIS data, tools, and related technical support used to manage and interpret national trails resources within the NPS IMR footprint.
This opportunity is being executed as a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), using a task agreement mechanism. CESUs are partnerships used by federal agencies to carry out research, technical assistance, and education with partner institutions, and in this case the NPS is using that framework to fund continued GIS development work tied to national trails. The announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for a single-source approach rather than an open competition.
The notice makes clear that it is not a request for applications and not an open call for proposals. Eligibility is therefore effectively limited to the identified recipient: the University of Utah. The listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others" with clarification in the eligibility field that this is a single source award to the University of Utah, meaning other organizations should not expect to submit an application or be considered for funding under this particular notice.
From a funding standpoint, the estimated total funding is $30,000, with an expected number of awards of one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which often appears in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations with variable award sizes; the key figure to rely on here is the estimated total funding amount.
Key dates included in the record indicate the posting and creation date as July 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2015, and an archive date of September 2, 2015. Even though a closing date is provided, the statement that this is not a request for applications means the date functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a deadline for submitting proposals from the public.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," aligning it with federal assistance activities that support research, technical services, and capacity-building related to park system resources. For anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing difficulty retrieving it electronically, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
