Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Documentation and Stabilization of Mastodon Mine Structures at Joshua Tree National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8336100102) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice describing an intended cooperative agreement to support natural resource and cultural resource work at Joshua Tree National Park. The project focus, as stated in the title, is the documentation and stabilization of structures associated with the Mastodon Mine, meaning the effort is aimed at recording existing historic mining features and taking steps to prevent further deterioration or structural failure. This type of work typically supports preservation of historic resources, improves site safety, and helps park managers make informed decisions about long-term protection and interpretation of the site.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly a Notice of Intent for a noncompetitive (single-source) award issued under Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The award will be made as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework NPS uses to partner with universities and other organizations on research, technical assistance, and resource management projects. In practical terms, the CESU mechanism allows NPS to place a targeted project with a designated partner that has the expertise and capacity needed for the specific work.
Eligibility is correspondingly limited because the action is intended as a single-source award to one named recipient: the University of Arizona. The listing even clarifies under eligibility that "this funding announcement is not a request for applications," which means other institutions or organizations are not being invited to apply and no proposal competition is being conducted. The "Eligible Applicants" field reflects this by using a broad category ("Others") with clarification provided in the eligibility text that the recipient is predetermined.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and is listed under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The estimated total funding amount is $45,140, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly occurs in notices that are informational in nature (especially for noncompetitive intent notices) rather than structured as open competitions with defined minimums and maximums.
The timeline in the listing reflects its function as a public notice rather than an application window. It was posted on August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2010, and an archive date of October 4, 2010. The "ExpectedAwards" field is shown as 0, which can appear on notices of intent even when an award is anticipated, since the listing is not managed like a typical competitive opportunity that tracks awards in the same way.
For additional details beyond the summary fields, the notice directs readers to the attached announcement. If there are access issues obtaining the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
