Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Greater Grand Canyon Landscape Assessment Spatial Analyses opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00785) is a discretionary funding action administered by the National Park Service under a Cooperative Agreement. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The purpose of the effort, as indicated by the title and description, is to support spatial analysis work tied to a broader landscape assessment focused on the Greater Grand Canyon region, meaning the project is intended to produce analytical or GIS-based outputs that help the Park Service understand landscape conditions, patterns, or changes across the larger Grand Canyon area beyond individual park boundaries.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly states that it will result in a task agreement award under the CESU framework and that the noncompetitive approach is being used in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the Park Service has already identified the recipient and is using an established cooperative research partnership mechanism to place the work, rather than opening the opportunity to general competition.
The only expected award is one, and the identified recipient is Northern Arizona University. The posting makes clear that it is not requesting applications and that eligibility is effectively limited to that single entity for this specific action. The estimated total funding amount for the project is $30,000. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the system record, which typically indicates that the specific dollar amount is handled in the agreement documentation rather than being expressed as a range within the public synopsis.
The timeline for the notice was short and largely administrative: it was posted on June 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 6, 2014, and it was archived on July 6, 2014. Because this was a notice of intent for a single-source CESU task agreement rather than an open competition, the closing date functions more like the end of the public notice period than an application deadline for potential applicants.
For additional details or for anyone who could not access the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
