Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service IMR Treaty Research Project (Phase II) is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient and the NPS are expected to have substantial involvement together in carrying out the work rather than the recipient operating entirely independently. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System.
This notice is not an open competition and is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The announcement specifies that the award will be made to a single identified recipient: the University of Colorado Boulder. In other words, other organizations are not being invited to apply through this posting, and the “Eligible Applicants†field is essentially informational rather than an invitation for submissions.
The planned award structure is a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain CESU, which is a common mechanism NPS uses to support research, technical assistance, and training with partner institutions. The posting anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $183,184. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which often indicates that a specific ceiling/floor was not populated in the database entry even though an estimated total funding amount is provided.
Key dates in the posting show it was published and created on August 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 24, 2015, and then archived on September 23, 2015. Because it is a single-source notice rather than a competitive solicitation, the “closing date†functions more as an administrative posting window than a deadline for competing applications.
For further details, the notice directs interested parties to the full attached announcement. If there are access issues with that document, the NPS contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
