Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Graduate Researcher for Archeological Inventory and Database Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00982) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training efforts related to resources of the National Park System. The purpose, as reflected in the title and brief description, is to support graduate-level research capacity focused on archeological inventory work and the management of associated data and databases, which are core needs in cultural and natural resource stewardship within the park system.
This posting is explicitly not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, carried out in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The eligible applicant field is effectively narrowed to one intended recipient: the University of Montana. In other words, while it appears in a grants listing format, it functions primarily as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to issue a task agreement under the CESU framework rather than opening the opportunity to the broader public or to multiple universities.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, NPS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $42,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows no specified award ceiling or floor (both are listed as $0), which typically indicates that the dollar amount and scope are established through the task agreement terms rather than through a range-based competitive solicitation. The posting and creation date were July 24, 2013, with a very short administrative window showing an original and current closing date of July 29, 2013, and an archive date of August 28, 2013, reinforcing that this was an intent notice tied to a predetermined recipient rather than an open call.
Operationally, the award was to be executed as a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain CESU, a cooperative partnership mechanism NPS uses to engage universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and training that support resource management needs. The brief public description does not spell out deliverables, but based on the stated focus, the funded work would be expected to relate to building, updating, organizing, or improving archeological inventory records and ensuring those records are managed effectively within an appropriate database environment to support compliance, planning, preservation, and long-term resource management.
