National Park Service Ethnographic Overview and Assessment for Canyonlands NP(Phase II) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service Ethnographic Overview and Assessment for Canyonlands National Park (Phase II) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service (NPS) to support natural and cultural resource research related to Canyonlands NP, using a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically the NPS Desert Southwest CESU. The intent is to continue or complete a second phase of an ethnographic overview and assessment (EOA), which typically documents ethnographic resources and evaluates how people and communities have used, valued, and maintained cultural ties to a park landscape over time. In practical terms, work of this type often involves compiling existing historical and ethnographic literature, conducting interviews and consultations where appropriate, identifying traditionally associated communities, and producing documentation that park managers can use for planning, interpretation, and resource protection.

This opportunity is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open competition. It is not a request for applications, and it is being issued as a noncompetitive, single-source award consistent with Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The announcement states that the award will be made through a task agreement under the CESU mechanism, which is commonly used by NPS and other Interior bureaus to partner with academic and research institutions for specific applied studies and technical support. Because it is a single-source action, the eligible applicant in practice is predetermined: the University of Arizona is named as the intended recipient.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating on research scope, access to park information, review of interim products, and alignment of final deliverables with park management needs. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the related CFDA listing is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is the standard assistance program used for many NPS research and applied science collaborations.

The announcement projected one award with an estimated total funding amount of $178,412. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The listing shows no formal award floor or ceiling (both listed as 0), which usually reflects how the funding details are handled internally for this specific task agreement rather than indicating an absence of funding. Key dates show it was posted and created on August 11, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2015, and an archive date of September 19, 2015, reflecting the short public notice period typical of noncompetitive intent notices.

For administrative questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303. The overall takeaway is that this listing functions mainly as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to fund Phase II of an ethnographic overview and assessment for Canyonlands National Park through a noncompetitive cooperative agreement with the University of Arizona under the Desert Southwest CESU.
