Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "National Park Service Developing a Monitoring Protocol for Visitor Experience and Recreation Demand at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, Phase 3" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources management, specifically the development and refinement of a monitoring approach for visitor experience and recreation demand at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The intent is to support continued work (Phase 3) on creating or improving a structured protocol that can help the park track how visitors use the area, what kinds of recreation pressures exist, and how those patterns relate to the quality of visitor experiences. In practical terms, this type of work typically helps park managers make decisions based on consistent, repeatable data, such as identifying high-demand locations or seasons, detecting shifts in recreation trends over time, and linking visitor use patterns to management objectives.
This notice is not a typical open competition. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The award will be made through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordination on methods, deliverables, or how results will be used in management), rather than simply providing funds for an independently run study.
Only one award is expected, and the announcement states clearly that it is a single-source award to the University of Idaho. Because of that, the listing is "not a request for applications," meaning other entities should not prepare or submit proposals in response to this posting. The eligible applicant field is effectively constrained by the single-source determination described in the eligibility information, even though the general eligibility category is listed as "Others" with clarification provided in the narrative.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR9260120005, with CFDA number 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs, Resources of the National Park System). The total estimated funding amount is listed as $41,424. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on November 9, 2011, with an original and current closing date of November 14, 2011, and it was archived on December 14, 2011. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0, which sometimes occurs in listings where the specific amount is provided separately (here, via the estimated total funding figure) rather than expressed as a range.
