Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "National Park Service Develop Historic Context for Yellowstone's Backcountry Trails, Yellowstone National Park" is a discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose is to support work that develops a historic context for Yellowstone National Park's backcountry trails, meaning research and documentation that helps explain how these trails emerged, changed over time, and relate to broader historical themes in the park and the region. The announcement is framed as a notice of intent rather than an open competition, signaling that the NPS has already identified the partner it plans to fund and is proceeding under a noncompetitive justification.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications and is identified as a single-source award to the University of Wyoming. The agency cites DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C) as the authority for making a noncompetitive award, which is typically used when there is a documented rationale for selecting one specific recipient rather than running a full competitive process. Because of that structure, the listing does not function like a typical grant solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals for review; instead, it serves primarily as public notice that the NPS intends to make this award through the CESU mechanism and will implement the work through a task agreement.
From the funding details provided, the estimated total funding amount is $100,000. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as $0), which commonly occurs in notices that are not soliciting applications and where the final award details are managed through an internal agreement process rather than a published competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, which fits the CESU context and the intersection of cultural and historical research with park resource management.
The timeline shows the opportunity was posted and created on August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 5, 2010, and an archive date of October 5, 2010. In practical terms, the short window aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent for a pre-identified recipient rather than an open call for proposals. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used in systems when a more specific CFDA program number is not assigned or not applicable to the way the notice is being recorded.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
