National Park Service Moose Exhibit Site 48YE201 Final Data Recovery and preparation of various journal articles | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Moose Exhibit Site 48YE201 Final Data Recovery and preparation of various journal articles" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00463) is a discretionary funding action that the agency announced as a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, and it falls under the natural resources funding activity area, with program alignment to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, this means the work is meant to support research and documentation tied directly to National Park System resources, and the cooperative agreement format suggests NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds.

This opportunity is explicitly described as a noncompetitive, single-source action being issued through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks used by DOI bureaus (including NPS) to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education. Here, NPS states that the action will result in a task agreement award under that CESU framework. The notice also cites Department of the Interior policy authority (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for making a noncompetitive award. The key implication is that the agency is not seeking competing applications; instead, it is documenting its intent to fund a specific partner for a defined scope of work.

The scope, as reflected in the title and brief description, centers on final data recovery for the Moose Exhibit Site identified as 48YE201, along with preparation of various journal articles. While the announcement text provided is short, "final data recovery" in an NPS cultural or natural resources context typically refers to completing the collection, analysis, synthesis, and formal documentation of information gathered from a site so that the resource record is complete and usable for long-term management and scholarship. The additional mention of journal articles indicates that the project is expected to produce publishable research outputs, not just internal reporting, which aligns with CESU goals of translating federally supported work into peer-reviewed or professionally reviewed products.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $30,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often appears in notices of intent or administrative postings where the agency is not running a competitive program with defined minimum and maximum request levels. Only one award is expected. The posting date and creation date are both May 29, 2013, and the closing date is June 3, 2013, with an archive date of July 3, 2013. Those short dates are consistent with a notice-of-intent posting that is primarily meant to satisfy transparency requirements rather than solicit applications.

Eligibility is another point where the announcement is unambiguous: it states that this funding announcement is not a request for applications and that it is a single-source award to the University of Wyoming. The general "Eligible Applicants" field is shown as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the accompanying eligibility narrative clarifies that no broader applicant pool is being considered. In other words, organizations looking for NPS grant opportunities would not be able to apply for this specific action because the recipient has already been identified.

For applicants or members of the public who need the complete announcement text and have trouble accessing it electronically, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392. This contact detail is provided for access and administrative questions rather than programmatic competition, since the award is intended to be issued noncompetitively under the CESU mechanism.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an administrative notice that NPS plans to fund a targeted research-and-publication effort related to the Moose Exhibit Site 48YE201 through a cooperative agreement with the University of Wyoming, using the Rocky Mountain CESU partnership structure, with a total planned funding level of about $30,000 and no open application process.
