Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service National Register Nomination for the Northeast Entrance Road, Yellowstone NP" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00026) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support work related to preparing a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Northeast Entrance Road in Yellowstone National Park. The activity falls under the broad federal program area of natural resources and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs and work connected to resources of the National Park System. The overall effort is framed as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership mechanism the NPS uses to collaborate with academic and other partners on research, technical assistance, and similar projects.
This notice is explicitly not a standard, open competition grant announcement. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling it plans to fund a specific partner rather than solicit proposals from the general public, and it is publishing the notice primarily for transparency and documentation rather than to invite applications.
The announcement states there is one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. No cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is commonly used in postings where the agency does not want to define formal maximum/minimum boundaries in the system record even though an estimated total amount is provided elsewhere in the notice.
Eligibility is limited by design. While the system field lists "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility information, the eligibility section clarifies the intent: this is a single-source award to the University of Wyoming. As a result, other organizations should not interpret the posting as an opportunity to compete for the funds, since the agency is not requesting applications.
The timing also reflects the administrative nature of the notice. The opportunity was posted and created on November 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of December 2, 2013, and it was archived on January 1, 2014. Those dates indicate a short public posting window consistent with notices of intent for noncompetitive actions rather than a full competitive grant cycle.
For questions or technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
