Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Ethnographic Overview and Assessment for Canyonlands National Park (Phase I)" is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources and cultural/ethnographic research connected to the resources of the National Park System. It is issued as a Notice of Intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior's policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, meaning the agency is announcing its intention to fund a specific partner rather than soliciting open competition.
The project will be carried out through a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework used by NPS to partner with universities and other research institutions for technical studies, research, and training. In practical terms, this indicates the work is expected to be collaborative in nature, with NPS involved in shaping, guiding, and coordinating the effort rather than simply purchasing a final product through a standard contract.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Eligibility is effectively limited because the award is designated as a single-source action to the University of Arizona. As a result, other organizations are not being invited to apply, and there is no competitive selection process associated with this posting.
The opportunity anticipates a single award with total estimated funding of $42,183, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $42,183, which signals a fixed planned budget for this phase of work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds to participate. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," aligning the funding with research and technical assistance activities that support NPS management and stewardship.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 28, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2015, and an archive date of July 7, 2015. Even though a closing date is provided, it functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice posting rather than an application deadline, since the award is noncompetitive and predetermined.
For those needing access to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Katie Gaertner, a Grants Management Specialist with the National Park Service, who can assist if there are issues obtaining the announcement electronically.
