National Park Service Ethnographic Overview and Assessment for Hovenweep NM (Phase II) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Ethnographic Overview and Assessment for Hovenweep NM (Phase II)" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00835) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Department of the Interior's Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit framework, specifically the National Park Service Desert Southwest CESU. Rather than being an open competition, the notice functions as a formal notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the authority described in DOI 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, this means the National Park Service already identified the intended partner and is announcing the planned award for transparency and administrative compliance, not inviting proposals from the broader public.

The project focus is an ethnographic overview and assessment for Hovenweep National Monument, identified as Phase II, which signals follow-on work building on an earlier phase of ethnographic research and documentation. While the short posting does not spell out the specific tasks, an ethnographic overview and assessment in an NPS context typically supports park management by documenting culturally affiliated communities, traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and contemporary connections to places and resources within or associated with the park. These products are commonly used to inform resource stewardship, consultation, interpretive planning, and compliance responsibilities tied to cultural resources and associated laws and policies. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, reflecting that ethnographic and cultural landscape work is often managed alongside broader resource programs within the National Park Service.

Only one award was anticipated, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,040, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting lists no formal award ceiling or floor, which is consistent with a single, predefined task agreement amount in a cooperative agreement context. The eligible applicant category is effectively limited by the announcement itself: it explicitly states this is not a request for applications and that the award is intended as a single-source action to the University of Arizona. The associated CFDA listing is 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-based research and applied studies partnerships.

Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on August 24, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2015, and an archive date of October 2, 2015. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the "closing date" should be understood as the administrative window for the public posting rather than a deadline for submitting applications. For those needing access to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
