Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Piscataway Park Administrative History" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01292) is a National Park Service discretionary grant announcement intended to support work related to documenting or developing the administrative history of Piscataway Park. It is issued as a cooperative agreement, indicating that the project is expected to involve substantial involvement or collaboration from the National Park Service during the period of performance, rather than operating as a hands-off, standard grant. The activity category is listed under natural resources, and it falls within CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs associated with resources of the National Park System.
A key feature of this notice is that it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award through the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, that language means the agency is not running an open competition where multiple applicants are evaluated against each other for selection. Instead, the NPS is signaling its intent to issue a task agreement under an existing CESU framework, consistent with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which provides authority and procedures for making certain awards without full and open competition when justified. The posting emphasizes that additional details would be available in the attached announcement, which would typically outline the precise scope of work, expected deliverables, timelines, and administrative requirements connected to the task agreement.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $71,171. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the summary data, which usually indicates that the opportunity record did not specify formal minimum or maximum amounts in those fields, even though an estimated total funding level is provided elsewhere.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted and created on July 21, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 30, 2015, and it was archived on August 29, 2015. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
