Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Ethnographic Overview and Assessment funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00831) is a discretionary National Park Service notice describing the agency's intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award. The effort is structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism commonly used by DOI bureaus to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and applied science projects that support public lands management. The announcement explicitly states it is a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation, and it cites the Department of the Interior 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for proceeding as a single-source, noncompetitive award.
In practical terms, this posting is not a request for applications and it is not an opportunity where multiple organizations should expect to compete. Eligibility is effectively limited to the intended recipient identified in the notice: the University of Arizona. The listing notes that further eligibility clarification would normally appear in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" field, but the key point is that the NPS is documenting its intent to proceed with one specific partner through the CESU network, rather than inviting proposals from the general public or a broad set of institutions.
The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, collaboration on work planning, coordination with park units, review of deliverables, or shared decision-making on methods and products). The activity category is Natural Resources and the CFDA number provided is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning the project with research and technical assistance that supports National Park System stewardship. While the title signals an ethnographic overview and assessment, the notice itself directs readers to an attached announcement for more detailed scope information, implying that specifics such as study areas, expected deliverables, timelines, and methodological requirements would be outlined there.
The financial details show an estimated total funding amount of $87,880, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0, which often occurs when the system fields are not used to set limits for a single-source posting). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The NPS expected number of awards is one, consistent with the single-recipient structure. The posting timeline is short: it was posted and created on July 10, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2013, and it was archived on August 14, 2013. That quick close is typical of notices of intent that are published primarily for transparency and documentation rather than to solicit competing applications.
