Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) Natural Resource Condition Assessment opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00833) is a discretionary funding action being carried out through a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. It is associated with NPS natural resources work and is structured as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to collaborate with specific research and academic institutions.
This posting is a notice of intent rather than an open solicitation. In practical terms, that means it is not seeking proposals from the general public and should not be read as a competitive grant competition. The announcement explicitly states it is a noncompetitive, single-source award made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The listed eligible applicant category is "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility note, and that note makes the key point: this is a single source award to Northern Arizona University. The expected number of awards is one.
The total estimated funding for the action is $49,967. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not using those fields to define a competitive range and instead is documenting a predetermined funding action tied to a specific agreement amount.
The opportunity was posted on June 1, 2015, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of June 10, 2015, with an archive date of July 10, 2015. Because this is not a request for applications, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative posting window rather than a deadline for competing submissions.
For access issues related to the full announcement materials, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
