Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service George Washington Carver NM Demographic Study" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00296) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support a demographic study connected to George Washington Carver National Monument. The project is being issued through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement, which typically means the work will be carried out under an existing cooperative framework designed for research, technical assistance, and applied studies that support park and resource management needs. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and aligns with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System.
This announcement is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive process. In practical terms, that means the NPS 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 details confirm this directly: it is not a request for applications and is intended as a single-source award to Washington State University. The listing still provides standard federal grant metadata, but the key takeaway is that outside organizations are not being asked to apply.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $33,730, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0, which is common in notices where the award amount is handled through internal agreement documentation rather than a competitive range). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The NPS expected to make one award under this notice.
Timing information shows the posting and creation date as April 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 9, 2014, and an archive date of May 9, 2014. Because this is a noncompetitive notice of intent rather than a call for proposals, the short window functions more like an administrative publication period than a true application deadline. Anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically is directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
In summary, this opportunity documents the National Park Service's intent to fund a demographic study for George Washington Carver National Monument via a cooperative agreement task agreement under the Rocky Mountain CESU, using a noncompetitive, single-source approach. The only intended recipient is Washington State University, the estimated funding is $33,730, and the notice serves primarily as formal disclosure and grants management documentation rather than an invitation for public applications.
