Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Leveraging Indoor and Outdoor Exhibits Using Digital Methods" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01063) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The project sits within the Natural Resources funding activity area and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the purpose is to support work that uses digital approaches to enhance or extend the reach and effectiveness of exhibits and interpretive content in both indoor and outdoor park settings, using a cooperative agreement structure that typically involves substantial collaboration between the NPS and the recipient.
This posting is not an open call for proposals and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to Northern Arizona University. The NPS cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. The announcement indicates that the funding action will result in a task agreement award under the CESU framework, which is commonly used by the Department of the Interior to partner with universities and other research organizations for applied research, technical assistance, and related training activities that support public land management needs.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $41,635. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which typically reflects how the opportunity was entered into the posting system rather than implying the award has no value; the estimated total funding figure is the meaningful budget reference provided in the synopsis. Key timeline details include a posted date and creation date of June 26, 2014, an original and current closing date of June 30, 2014, and an archive date of July 30, 2014, indicating this was a short-fuse notice meant to document the agency's intent and complete procedural requirements rather than solicit competition.
Eligibility is effectively limited to the identified recipient because it is a single-source award; the entry lists eligible applicants as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility information field that the award is directed to Northern Arizona University. Anyone trying to access the full announcement or supporting documents who runs into technical issues is directed to contact Katie Gaertner, Procurement Technician, at 303-969-2909.
