Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Make Archeological Dendrochronology Specimens Web accessible and Research Museum Documentation (Yr 2)" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00726MOD1) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action intended to support natural resource-related work connected to the National Park System. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. The core purpose, as reflected in the title and description, is to continue a second-year effort focused on making archeological dendrochronology specimens and related research museum documentation accessible via the web, improving access to specimen information and strengthening documentation practices for museum and research collections tied to NPS resources.
This notice is not an open competition. It is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly states it is issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is commonly used to justify and document situations where a competitive process is not pursued. Consistent with that approach, the listing clarifies that it is not a request for applications and identifies the intended recipient as the University of Arizona. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not being invited to apply, even though the general "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled and points readers to additional eligibility information for clarification.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $147,036. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which typically indicates that the standard ceiling/floor fields were not used to define constraints in the public posting, rather than implying the award amount is zero. The opportunity was posted on September 5, 2014, with a very short public availability window: the original and current closing date were both September 9, 2014, and it was archived on October 9, 2014. The brief timeline aligns with the nature of a notice-of-intent, single-source action where the agency is announcing an intended award rather than conducting a full solicitation.
The administering agency is the National Park Service, and the public point of contact listed for assistance accessing the full announcement is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at 303-969-2303. The announcement notes that further details were provided in an attached document, implying that specifics such as the exact work plan, deliverables, reporting expectations, and web-accessibility or documentation standards would be described in that attachment rather than in the short synopsis itself.
