Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Develop an Historic Ecclesiastical Landscape Study for Russian America from approximately 1840 to 1920" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01172) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice describing an intended, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award rather than an open grant competition. It was posted on July 11, 2014, with a very short public notice window ending July 15, 2014, and it was later archived on August 14, 2014. The announcement makes clear that it is not requesting applications from the public and is instead documenting the government’s plan to make a single-source award.
The purpose of the action is to support the development of an historic ecclesiastical landscape study focused on "Russian America" during the period roughly 1840 to 1920. In practical terms, an ecclesiastical landscape study typically examines how religious institutions, sites, and practices shaped the built environment and cultural landscape over time, often including elements such as churches, cemeteries, mission sites, settlement patterns, associated land use, and the broader historical context that connects these places. The time period identified suggests a historical scope that spans late-era Russian colonial influence and subsequent transitions under U.S. governance, capturing how religious and cultural landscapes evolved across that change.
Administratively, the award is intended to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnerships that allow federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and educational projects. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction or execution compared to a standard grant. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA program listings include 15.945, covering cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System.
The announcement anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $74,250. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which in these listings often reflects that the specific amount is provided elsewhere in the notice or that the standard ceiling/floor fields were not used in a typical competitive format.
Eligibility is intentionally limited because this is a noncompetitive action. The notice explicitly states that this is a single-source award to the University of Arizona. The stated justification is that it is being issued as a notice of intent and a noncompetitive award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy, cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. That citation is included to document the internal authority and rationale for making an award without competition.
For access and administrative questions, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303, particularly for anyone who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
