Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Horseshoe Mesa Rock Art Documentation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00285) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on natural resource documentation work, specifically related to rock art at Horseshoe Mesa. It is being issued under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the work is intended to be carried out through the CESU partnership framework, which NPS commonly uses to collaborate with qualified research and educational institutions on resource management and applied science projects within the National Park System.
This notice is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, cited as consistent with Department of the Interior policy under 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means NPS has already identified the intended recipient and is publicly documenting its intent to proceed with that award rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that the award will be made to the Museum of Northern Arizona.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordination on methods, review of deliverables, or ongoing collaboration during fieldwork and documentation. The assistance listing tied to the opportunity is CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required financial match as a condition of the award.
In terms of scale and timing, the NPS anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $126,973. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which is common in notices where the amount is defined by the specific task agreement rather than by a competitive range. The posting and creation date were April 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 8, 2014, and an archive date of May 8, 2014. Those dates are largely administrative here because the notice is not seeking applications; they mainly mark the public posting window for the intent announcement.
For additional details beyond the summary fields, the notice indicates that more information is available in the attached announcement. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
