Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Leveraging Digital Methods for Historical Interpretation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01070) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that was posted on June 26, 2014 and closed on June 30, 2014, with the notice archived on July 30, 2014. It is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is listed under natural resources, reflecting NPS work that often blends cultural resource interpretation with broader resource stewardship priorities. The total estimated funding for the action is $29,998, and the opportunity anticipated a single award.
This notice is important because it is not a typical open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnerships that support research, technical assistance, and education for public land agencies, and task agreements under a CESU are commonly used to quickly place work with an established partner institution when that partner has a specific role, expertise, or relationship relevant to the project. The announcement explicitly states that the award is being made noncompetitively in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal authority used to justify and document why a competition is not being conducted for a particular assistance action.
Eligibility is therefore effectively restricted by design. While the eligibility field broadly says "Others" and references additional eligibility text, the listing clarifies that this is a single-source award to Northern Arizona University. In other words, the public posting functions primarily as a transparency notice rather than an invitation for new applicants to submit proposals. The opportunity indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal share as a condition of receiving the funds.
In terms of purpose, the title indicates the project focus: leveraging digital methods for historical interpretation within the National Park Service context. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves using digital tools and platforms to help the public understand historical themes, places, events, and resources managed or interpreted by NPS. Depending on the attached announcement (not included in the text you provided), that could mean developing or testing digital interpretive products such as web-based story maps, mobile-friendly interpretive content, digital exhibits, interactive media, databases that support interpretive narratives, or other technology-assisted methods that strengthen how parks communicate history to visitors and online audiences. Because it is set up as a cooperative agreement, it also implies substantial involvement by NPS during the project, such as collaboration on scope, review of deliverables, coordination with park units, and alignment with NPS interpretive standards and priorities.
For practical questions about accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2303, specifically for assistance if there are difficulties obtaining the full announcement electronically.
