Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Emergency Preservation and Documentation of a Stratified, Multicomponent Habitation Site (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00354) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action to support urgent work involving the preservation and documentation of an archeological habitation site that contains multiple layers (stratified deposits) and evidence of more than one period or type of occupation (multicomponent). The activity sits within the natural resources funding activity category and is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service anticipates substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The award is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the agency-specific authority used to justify certain types of noncompetitive financial assistance actions. In practical terms, that means the funding decision is pre-identified and the public posting functions primarily as a transparency and administrative notice rather than an open call.
The only eligible recipient identified for this action is the University of Arizona, described as a single-source award. The total estimated funding amount for the project is $79,988, and the posting lists an expected number of awards as one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award. The CFDA program listing associated with this opportunity is 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work is tied to research, documentation, and preservation activities that support NPS stewardship responsibilities.
Key dates in the public notice include a posted date of May 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 14, 2013, and an archive date of June 13, 2013. Although a closing date is provided, in a notice-of-intent, single-source context it typically reflects the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for application submissions, since applications are not being solicited.
For additional information or help obtaining the full announcement materials, the notice points to a National Park Service grants management contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
