Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Pictograph and Petroglyph Sites Documentation and National Register District Nomination opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01017) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resources and cultural resource documentation within the National Park System. The work centers on documenting pictograph and petroglyph sites and preparing a National Register of Historic Places district nomination, which typically involves detailed site recording, mapping, photographic documentation, archival research, evaluation of historic significance, and compilation of the formal nomination materials required for National Register review.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement and is being issued through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement. CESU task agreements are commonly used to partner with universities and other research organizations for specialized technical work, applied research, and resource management support. The announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, and it is identified as a noncompetitive, single-source award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the agency has already determined the recipient and is publishing the notice to document the rationale and process rather than inviting proposals from the broader public.
Eligibility is therefore not open-ended. The announcement states that it is not a request for applications and that the award will be made to Utah State University as the single-source recipient. While the general eligibility field references "Others" with additional eligibility language, the key point is that no competing applications will be accepted because the funding is intended for a specific partner under the CESU framework.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000. The posting date and creation date were both June 19, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2015, and an archive date of July 28, 2015. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. It also lists award ceiling and floor values as zero, which is often a grants.gov data-field artifact for announcements that function as notices rather than standard competitive funding calls with defined minimums and maximums.
The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, indicating it aligns with NPS research, documentation, and resource stewardship objectives. For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
