Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Make Dendrochronology specimens web accessible, year 3" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00964) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the National Park Service in the Natural Resources activity area. It was posted on June 11, 2015, with an original and final closing date of June 20, 2015, and later archived on July 20, 2015. The total estimated funding for this action is $49,036, and it anticipates a single award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The purpose of the notice is not to solicit proposals from the public. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award. The NPS indicates the award will be made as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The notice explicitly cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for making a noncompetitive award, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is the internal authority used to justify and document circumstances where competition is not pursued.
Eligibility is therefore limited in practice to the named recipient. While the listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants (with a prompt to see additional eligibility text), the eligibility statement clarifies that this is a single source award to the University of Arizona. In other words, no open application process is being run, and organizations should not treat the posting as an invitation to apply. The CFDA program number associated with this opportunity is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research, documentation, and resource stewardship work that supports national park management.
In operational terms, the project focus is on making dendrochronology specimens web accessible, and this is identified as "year 3," implying continuation of a multi-year effort. Dendrochronology specimens typically include tree-ring samples and associated metadata used for dating, climate reconstruction, and resource management research. Making these specimens web accessible generally means improving digital access to specimen records, standardizing or enhancing metadata, and publishing records through online platforms so researchers and park managers can discover and use the information without needing to physically access collections. The announcement notes that additional details are contained in an attached announcement, which would normally provide the specific scope of work, deliverables, timelines, and data standards expected under the task agreement.
For questions or help obtaining the full announcement, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303, with the note that assistance is available if there are difficulties accessing the full notice electronically.
