Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Improve Management of and Dissemination of Information about Submerged Resources Center Archives" is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support natural resource-related work involving the Submerged Resources Center (SRC) archives. The purpose, as indicated by the title and brief description, is to strengthen how SRC archival materials are managed and to improve how information from those archives is shared or made accessible. In practical terms, this kind of effort typically involves organizing, standardizing, preserving, and potentially digitizing archival holdings, as well as improving discovery tools such as inventories, catalogs, metadata, and user-facing access methods so that park managers, researchers, and other stakeholders can find and use the information more effectively.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. The eligible applicant is effectively predetermined: the funding announcement states that it is a single source award to the University of Arizona, and it clarifies that it is not a request for applications. As a result, outside organizations are not being invited to submit proposals, and there is no open competition for the award.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward. NPS expects to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS anticipates substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordination on archival standards, data management requirements, review of deliverables, or integration with NPS systems), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically has more autonomy. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System.
Key administrative dates reflect that this was a short-fuse announcement tied to an internal or pre-coordinated award process rather than an open call. The posting and creation dates are August 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and an archive date of September 25, 2011. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which commonly appears in records that are informational notices or where the primary figure of interest is the estimated total funding rather than a competitive range.
