Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Plan and Conduct Oral History Project FY13 (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00667) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The purpose of the award is to support planning and implementation of an oral history project, which typically involves designing an interview approach, conducting and recording interviews, processing and organizing transcripts and recordings, and producing archival-ready materials that can be used for research, interpretation, and long-term preservation related to National Park Service resources and programs.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award. It is being issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the work will be implemented through a CESU task agreement mechanism that supports cooperative research, technical assistance, and related training activities between federal agencies and CESU network partners. The noncompetitive nature of the action is justified under Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides authority for certain single-source financial assistance actions when specific criteria are met.
The announcement states that it is not requesting applications from the public. Eligibility is effectively limited to a single identified recipient: Colorado State University. As a result, while the opportunity appears in grants listings, it functions primarily as a formal public posting documenting the government’s intent to make an award to that institution rather than inviting proposals from other organizations. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, with an estimated total funding amount of $31,767, and no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Key administrative dates indicate the opportunity was posted and created on June 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2013, and an archive date of July 26, 2013. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with notices of intent that are published for transparency even when the recipient has already been identified. No award ceiling or floor is specified in the listing, which can occur when the funding level is fixed by the planned task agreement rather than set up as a competitive range.
For additional details or if there are issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
