Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Document and Record Aboriginal Wooden Structures at High Risk from Increased Wildfires due to Climate Change at Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountain" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action designed to support documentation and recording work focused on Aboriginal wooden structures that are considered especially vulnerable as wildfire risk increases with climate change. The project scope, as indicated by the title and activity category, centers on natural resource and cultural resource protection through systematic recording, likely to preserve knowledge and baseline information about at-risk wooden cultural features located within or associated with Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountain national park areas. The intent is preservation-by-documentation, meaning the work helps ensure that if physical resources are damaged or lost due to fire, the information needed for research, interpretation, and potential future management decisions is still available.
This notice is not a traditional competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly labeled as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award made under Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C) and will be executed as a task agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESU agreements are commonly used by DOI bureaus, including NPS, to partner with universities and other organizations on research, technical assistance, and resource management projects. In practical terms, this means NPS had already identified the partner and the approach, and the announcement is primarily a transparency and administrative step rather than an invitation for the public to submit applications.
The award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordinating access, aligning methods with park standards, providing oversight, and integrating results into NPS management needs). The estimated total funding amount listed is $60,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically signals that the standard competitive range fields are not being used because this is not an open competition and the funding amount is handled through the predetermined task agreement process.
Eligibility is effectively restricted. While the general field lists "Others" and refers readers to additional eligibility information, the announcement plainly states that this is a single-source award to the University of Pennsylvania. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which is sometimes used when a program does not fit neatly into a standard CFDA listing or when the posting is serving more as a formal notice than a programmatic competition.
Key administrative dates reflect how quickly this type of notice can move. The posting date and creation date are both August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2010, and an archive date of October 4, 2010. That short window aligns with the idea that the announcement is not collecting proposals but is instead documenting the intent to make a direct, noncompetitive award.
