Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Geological Studies on the North Entrance Road (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00464) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work, specifically geological studies associated with the North Entrance Road. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is intended to be carried out with substantial involvement by the National Park Service rather than as a simple, hands-off grant. The opportunity is issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework the NPS uses to collaborate with universities and other eligible partners on research, technical assistance, and training that support park management needs.
This notice is not a public, open competition. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award, cited as being consistent with Department of the Interior policy in 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice to document the planned award rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants. The eligibility section makes this clear by stating the announcement is not a request for applications and that the single-source award is to the University of Wyoming. The eligible applicants field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the clarification provided overrides any broader interpretation by confirming the award is directed to a specific institution.
The financial scope is modest: the estimated total funding is $25,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations with a defined range; instead, the agency is indicating the anticipated total amount without establishing competitive funding limits. Only one award is expected.
Key timing details show this was a short administrative posting. The opportunity was posted and created on May 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 3, 2013, and an archive date of July 3, 2013. Because it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting applications.
The funding aligns with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which supports research and collaborative projects that help the NPS understand, manage, and protect park resources. Although the brief synopsis does not describe the technical methods or deliverables, the title and category indicate the work is intended to address geological conditions or issues affecting the North Entrance Road, likely supporting planning, maintenance, hazard assessment, or resource protection decisions connected to that transportation corridor.
