Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Documentation of Archeological Sites Impacted by Illegal Border Activities within Chiricahua National Monument and Coronado National Memorial" was published as a discretionary funding notice on August 19, 2010, under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8620100028. It was issued as a notice of intent rather than an open call, meaning it was not structured as a competitive grant where multiple applicants submit proposals for selection. Instead, the National Park Service stated up front that the action would be made as a single-source, noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C), and it would be executed through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, CESU task agreements are a common mechanism the federal government uses to partner with universities and other research organizations to carry out applied research and technical work that supports resource management.
The purpose of the award was to document archeological sites that had been impacted by illegal border-related activities within two specific National Park Service units in southeastern Arizona: Chiricahua National Monument and Coronado National Memorial. While the notice does not lay out detailed technical methods in the text provided, the title and context make the intent clear: to record and assess damage or disturbances to archeological resources associated with unauthorized cross-border traffic and related activities, which can include creation of informal trails, looting, vandalism, trampling, artifact displacement, soil disturbance, and other site integrity impacts. This kind of documentation generally supports cultural resource protection, compliance responsibilities, and future management decisions by creating or updating baseline records of site conditions, mapping impacts, and identifying areas where monitoring or mitigation may be needed.
Administratively, the opportunity listed the funding instrument type as a cooperative agreement and categorized the activity area under natural resources. The estimated total funding amount associated with the notice was $94,983, with no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The opportunity also showed an original and current closing date of August 24, 2010, and an archive date of September 23, 2010, reflecting that the notice was time-bound and later archived, consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than a solicitation seeking new applicants.
Eligibility was not open-ended. Although the general field for eligible applicants shows "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility information explicitly states that the announcement was not a request for applications and that it was a single-source award to the University of New Mexico. That detail is important because it confirms there was no competitive application process and no expectation of submissions from other universities, nonprofits, tribes, state agencies, or private entities. The notice essentially serves as a public transparency step to document the government’s intention to make a direct award to a specific partner under the CESU framework.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or encountering issues retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact was Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
