Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service NOIP15AC01071 Continue Cataloging and Making Archival Collections Publicly Accessible" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AC01071) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice describing the agency's intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award. It falls under the discretionary funding category and is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, with its program focus listed under Natural Resources. The stated purpose of the effort is to continue work related to cataloging archival collections and improving public access to those archival materials, which typically involves organizing, describing, and preparing records so they can be discovered and used by researchers and the general public.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not an open solicitation. The notice explicitly says it is not a request for applications and is being issued as a "notice of intent" for a single-source award. The intended recipient is the University of Arizona, and the award is to be made under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education. The notice cites the Department of the Interior's policy authority for a noncompetitive award (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal DOI guidance that allows agencies to justify and execute certain single-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance actions when specific criteria are met.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $96,498 and anticipates one award. It also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a specified non-federal match as a condition of the award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is the federal assistance listing tied to the broader program area under which this agreement is being made. The announcement shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the posting is not meant to function as a competitive call and the exact funding boundaries are not being expressed in the standard competitive format.
The timeline included in the posting reflects a short public notice window. The posted date and creation date are both August 24, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2015, and an archive date of October 2, 2015. Because it is a notice of intent for a single-source award rather than a competitive application process, the "closing date" is best understood as the end of the public posting period rather than a deadline by which multiple applicants would submit proposals.
Eligibility is correspondingly narrow. While the system field may show "Others" with a reference to additional eligibility information, the narrative clarifies that this is a single source award to the University of Arizona. In practice, that means other entities are not being invited to apply through this announcement. Anyone seeking the full documentation is directed to the attached announcement referenced in the description, and the contact person provided for access issues is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
