Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Historic Resource Study at Petrified Forest National Park, Phase III" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8430118002) is a discretionary funding action intended to support work in the natural resources activity category through a cooperative agreement. The announcement is structured as a notice of intent to make an award rather than an open competition, and it is issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism. In practical terms, this means the funding is being handled through an established federal-university partnership framework commonly used by NPS to carry out research and technical studies through qualified partner institutions.
This notice is explicitly described as a noncompetitive, single-source award made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). It is not a request for applications and is not inviting proposals from the general public or additional institutions. The named recipient is Arizona State University, and the announcement clarifies that eligibility is effectively limited to that single intended awardee for this action.
The opportunity anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is included. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both recorded as 0), which typically indicates that the specific award amount and structure are defined in the associated task agreement documentation rather than through a competitive range published for multiple applicants.
Key timeline information indicates the opportunity was posted and created on March 16, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2011, and an archive date of April 19, 2011. Because this is a notice of intent for a predetermined recipient rather than a competitive solicitation, these dates function more as administrative publication windows than as a typical deadline for external application submissions.
For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement text, the contact provided is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
