Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Monitoring geomorphic condition and sediment transport within the Big Bend Reach of the Rio Grande" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP14AC01154) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resource research and monitoring within the Rio Grande corridor in the Big Bend Reach. The core purpose is to support work that tracks and evaluates geomorphic conditions and sediment movement, which typically includes understanding how the river channel and floodplain change over time, how sediment is transported and deposited, and what those patterns mean for river health and park resource management. The opportunity is framed as part of the National Park Service interest in maintaining and understanding resources of the National Park System, and it falls under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System.
This notice is not an open competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly cites that the noncompetitive approach is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal authority describing when and how sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance awards may be justified. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the recipient and the work was expected to be carried out through a CESU task agreement mechanism rather than a standard competitive grant process.
The intended recipient is Utah State University, and the eligible applicant field reflects that by stating the award is limited to a single source. The opportunity anticipates one award total (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $36,041. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is common in postings that function mainly as administrative notices rather than competitive solicitations with defined budget ranges; the meaningful figure to rely on here is the estimated total funding.
Key timing details indicate the notice was posted and created on July 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2014, and an archive date of August 13, 2014. Because this was not a request for applications, those dates function more like a posting window for public notice and recordkeeping than a standard application deadline. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on technical approach, coordination on field methods, data standards, reporting, or integration of findings into agency management decisions.
