Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Lake Roosevelt NRA visitor study (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01078) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service focused on natural resources and visitor-related research at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to be carried out in partnership with the National Park Service rather than as a hands-off grant. The opportunity was posted and created on June 25, 2015, with a closing date of July 4, 2015, and it was later archived on August 3, 2015. Only one award was anticipated, with an estimated total funding amount of $87,110. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation. In practical terms, it is not a request for applications and it is not a competitive grant opportunity. Instead, it documents the agency's plan to issue a single-source, noncompetitive award to Washington State University. The award is to be made under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative network used by federal agencies to partner with universities and other organizations for research, technical assistance, and training tied to natural and cultural resource management.
The noncompetitive nature of the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy, specifically referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. While the short summary provided does not list the full technical scope of the visitor study, the title indicates the project centers on understanding visitors to Lake Roosevelt NRA, typically involving work such as collecting and analyzing visitor use data, visitor satisfaction measures, trip characteristics, and other information that helps park managers improve services, protect resources, and plan for future use.
The listing includes CFDA number 15.945, labeled "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with research and training activities that support National Park Service management needs. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which generally indicates the system record did not define formal minimum/maximum bounds beyond the stated estimated total funding. For access issues with the full announcement, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
