Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Preparing NPS Records for Improved Public Access" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01157) is a discretionary funding action planned as a cooperative agreement under the National Park Service Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, specifically tied to CESU agreement H8W07110001. The overall purpose, as indicated by the title and description, is to support work that prepares National Park Service records in ways that improve public access, which typically involves organizing, processing, and making records more usable and discoverable for researchers and the general public. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System.
This announcement is not an open, competitive solicitation. It is explicitly labeled as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the National Park Service is informing the public that it plans to make one award without accepting proposals from other applicants. The announcement also clarifies that it is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is Western Washington University, which is the only eligible awardee for this action as described.
From a funding perspective, the Estimated Total Funding for the action is $286,993, with an expected number of awards of one. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in records where a fixed ceiling/floor is not being used in the public listing or where the total estimated amount is the primary figure provided. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Timing information indicates the opportunity was posted on July 2, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 11, 2015, and an archive date of August 10, 2015. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive call, these dates function more as an administrative posting window and public notice period rather than a true application deadline where multiple applicants submit proposals.
For assistance obtaining the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303, particularly for anyone who has trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
