Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Continued Development of National Trails IMR Geographic Information System" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP14AC00676) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action intended to support natural resource work through continued development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) capability for national trails within the NPS Intermountain Region (IMR). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the work in coordination with the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement.
This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The cited authority for proceeding without competition is Department of the Interior 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the internal DOI policy framework that includes circumstances allowing noncompetitive financial assistance actions. In practical terms, that means the posting is not meant to solicit proposals from the public; instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to fund a specific partner for this specific task agreement.
Eligibility is therefore narrowly defined. The announcement states that it is not a request for applications and identifies the University of Utah as the intended recipient of the single-source award. While the general eligibility field reads "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the accompanying eligibility information clarifies that no open application process is being conducted for this opportunity.
The total estimated funding listed for the action is $39,950, with one expected award. The posting shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of the agreement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is a common artifact in notices that are not true competitive solicitations and may not use the standard fields the same way as open funding announcements. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research, technical support, and training partnerships that benefit NPS resource management and related mission needs.
Timing details reflect that this was a short-lived posting primarily for notification purposes: it was posted and created on May 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 25, 2014, and it was archived on June 24, 2014. Because it is not an open call, the closing date should be read as the end of the public notice window rather than a deadline for prospective applicants.
