Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Historic Resource Study opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00712) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the National Park Service for work related to natural resources and, more specifically, resources of the National Park System. The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by the National Park Service in carrying out the work rather than functioning as a hands-off grant. The total estimated funding associated with this action is $98,297, and the notice anticipates making a single award.
This posting is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive approach is explicitly tied to Department of the Interior policy, cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides authority and justification standards for awarding without full and open competition in certain circumstances. The eligible applicant information reinforces this by stating plainly that the announcement is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for Colorado State University.
Administrative details indicate the opportunity was posted and created on June 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2013, and an archive date of July 31, 2013. The short interval between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent style announcement rather than a standard competitive grant cycle. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically signals that the funding amount is handled through the associated task agreement documentation rather than being expressed as a standard minimum/maximum range in the public listing.
The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning the effort with cooperative research and applied studies supporting NPS mission needs. For parties who needed help accessing the full announcement materials at the time, the notice provided a grants management contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
