Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Make Archives and Park Libraries Accessible to Researchers through Processing and Cataloging" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00885) is a discretionary funding action planned as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The core purpose is to improve research access to National Park Service archives and park library materials by supporting professional processing and cataloging work. In practical terms, the project is aimed at organizing, describing, and making discoverable archival collections and library holdings so that researchers can locate and use them more easily, which typically involves tasks like arranging collections, creating finding aids, and entering or improving catalog records.
This notice is not an open call for proposals. 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 noncompetitive nature is explicitly tied to Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which allows certain agreements to be awarded without competition under specific circumstances. Eligibility is therefore limited in practice: the announcement states it is a single-source award to the University of Arizona, and it clarifies that the posting should not be interpreted as a request for applications from other organizations.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $222,120. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient would not be expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which typically indicates that the agency did not specify a standard minimum or maximum range in the public synopsis, rather than implying no funds are available. The associated CFDA program number is 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning the work with cooperative research, training, and resource stewardship priorities within the National Park System.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on July 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2013, and an archive date of August 20, 2013. Because this was a notice of intent for a single-source action rather than a competitive solicitation, the dates function more as an administrative window for the public notice than as a typical application deadline. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
