Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service EFMO TCP Documentation and Evaluation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00704) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action that will be carried out through a cooperative agreement. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System. The total estimated amount of federal funding tied to this action is $85,000, and the NPS anticipates making one award.
This announcement is not an open competition and is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. The document specifically states that the award will be made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the authority used to justify and document situations where a competitive process is not used. In practical terms, that means the NPS has already selected the intended recipient and is publicly posting the notice for transparency and record purposes rather than to solicit proposals from multiple applicants.
The only eligible applicant for this particular action is the University of Arizona, identified explicitly as the single source recipient. While the listing shows "Others" in the standard eligibility field, the eligibility clarification makes clear that this announcement is limited and directed, and that no other organizations should expect to apply or be considered under this posting.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on June 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2013, and an archive date of July 31, 2013. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with notices of intent for noncompetitive awards, since the purpose is disclosure rather than running a full competitive grant cycle. The listing also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which is commonly how some systems display records where a fixed ceiling/floor is not specified in the public synopsis even though an estimated total funding amount is provided.
For additional details beyond what is contained in the summary fields, the announcement references an attached document as the primary source of further information. If there are access issues retrieving that full announcement electronically, the point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
