Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Make Information and Collections Accessible" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC01346) is a discretionary funding action that the agency posted on September 3, 2013. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area, and it sits within CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and activities supporting the Resources of the National Park System. The total estimated amount associated with the action is $36,275, with no stated award ceiling or floor, and the agency anticipated making one award.
This posting is not an open solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent describing a noncompetitive, single-source award to the University of Arizona. The National Park Service indicates the award will be issued as a task agreement under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative network the NPS uses to partner with universities and other organizations on research, technical assistance, and related projects. The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach.
The primary purpose, as reflected in the title and brief description, is to support work that helps make National Park Service information and collections more accessible. While the public synopsis does not provide project-level details, the phrasing suggests activities such as improving access to data, documentation, archives, or collection materials, which commonly involves organizing, describing, digitizing, or otherwise enhancing the usability and discoverability of NPS resources for staff, researchers, and the public. The announcement also states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement for this action.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on September 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2013, and an archive date of October 8, 2013. Because this is a single-source, noncompetitive award, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for the notice rather than an application deadline for prospective applicants.
