Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Going to the Sun Road Corridor Planning in Glacier National Park, (Additional Phase)" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1434110014) is a discretionary funding action that the agency posted on June 27, 2011. It supports natural resources work connected to corridor planning for Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, specifically an additional phase of an existing planning effort. The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the agency already identified the recipient and is not requesting or accepting applications from the general public or other institutions. The only intended awardee listed is the University of Montana, and the listing reinforces that "this funding announcement is not a request for applications." The award is to be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative framework used to partner with universities and other organizations on research, technical assistance, and related resource management needs.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $36,673, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, so the recipient is not expected to provide a financial match as a condition of receiving the award. The posting does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which often indicates that the formal funding limits were not expressed in that particular synopsis even though an estimated total is provided. The CFDA program reference is 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the CESU model and the park planning and resource management focus.
The administrative timeline is short because the action is essentially pre-selected: it was posted and created on June 27, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2011, and an archive date of July 31, 2011. Because it is not open for competition, the closing date functions more as a public notice window than as a deadline for proposal submission.
