Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Linking Hispanic Heritage Through Archeology Session 3" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01508) is a discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The activity is categorized under Natural Resources and is connected to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The notice describes the action as a task agreement award and frames it as a notice of intent rather than an open, competitive funding round.
This announcement is not a request for applications and is explicitly identified as a noncompetitive, single-source award. Eligibility is therefore limited in practice to the intended recipient named in the posting: the University of Arizona. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides internal authority for certain sole-source or directed awards when specific criteria are met. Because it is a directed award, the standard competitive process and broader applicant pool do not apply here, even though the opportunity appears in a public grants listing format.
In terms of funding, the estimated total amount associated with the action is $64,749, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The posting lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the listing, which commonly indicates that a fixed ceiling/floor was not entered into the public summary fields even though an estimated total funding amount is provided.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on August 14, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2015, and an archive date of September 22, 2015. Because this is not an open solicitation, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for posting and documentation rather than a deadline for prospective applicants to submit proposals.
For additional details or to obtain the full announcement if there are access issues, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
