Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Designing Exhibits to Interpret Early Walnut Canyon NM History" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00387) is a discretionary funding notice describing the Park Service's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to support interpretive exhibit design focused on the early history of Walnut Canyon National Monument. The work is being carried out under the framework of the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism the Department of the Interior uses to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, education, and related public service activities tied to natural and cultural resource stewardship.
This posting is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, explicitly citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the justification for awarding without competition. The announcement states that the only intended recipient is Northern Arizona University, meaning other entities are not being invited to apply and no application package is being requested from the public. The eligible applicant field is therefore effectively limited by the award decision described in the notice, even though the general category is listed as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility text.
The funding instrument 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 (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). The activity category is listed under natural resources, and the CFDA listing provided is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The opportunity anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $26,749. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The notice lists no formal award floor or ceiling (both shown as zero), which generally means the specific financial details are governed by the underlying task agreement and budget rather than by a range published in the public notice.
The timeline is short and administrative in nature, reflecting that it is a notice rather than a competitive call. The opportunity was posted and created on April 21, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2014, and an archive date of May 25, 2014. In practical terms, that close date functions more like the end of the public notice period than a deadline for submitting proposals, since the announcement is not requesting applications.
