Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Ethnobotany and TEK, FY2014 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01222) is a federal discretionary funding notice issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is Natural Resources. Although it appears in the format of a grant opportunity posting, it is not an open solicitation and is not seeking proposals from the general public.
This posting is specifically a notice of intent (NOI) to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, consistent with the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means NPS had already identified the intended recipient and justification for awarding without competition, and the public notice functions mainly as transparency documentation rather than an invitation to apply.
The award is planned as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are collaborative partnerships used by federal agencies to accomplish research, technical assistance, and education projects with approved partner institutions. Here, the intended recipient is the University of Arizona, and the eligibility language makes that explicit: the announcement states it is a single-source award to the University of Arizona and that the announcement is not a request for applications. The eligible applicants field therefore does not represent an open eligibility pool, even though the listing shows "Others" with clarification in the text.
The topic focus indicated by the title, "Ethnobotany and TEK," points to work involving ethnobotany (the relationships between people and plants, including traditional uses, management, and cultural significance) and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), which generally refers to long-held, experience-based ecological knowledge developed by Indigenous peoples and local communities. While the posted record does not provide project specifics beyond referencing an attached announcement, the framing suggests NPS intended to support cooperative research or related work products connected to natural resource stewardship in park contexts, potentially involving documentation, analysis, or application of TEK and ethnobotanical knowledge within NPS management or interpretation goals.
Administrative details show the notice was posted and created on July 16, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2014, and an archive date of August 21, 2014. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as 0, which typically signals that the public synopsis is not disclosing the funding amount in this record (or that it is handled in the attached materials or the ensuing task agreement documentation).
For access or technical issues related to obtaining the full announcement, the point of contact listed is Katie Gaertner, Procurement Technician, at 303-969-2909.
