Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Professional Education Program for Afghan Cultural Heritage Conservation" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP14AC01342) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action that was published as a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs connected to resources of the National Park System. The announcement makes clear that this is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications; instead, it is a planned single-source, noncompetitive award made under the Department of the Interior policy authority referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C.
In practical terms, this notice signals NPS intent to issue a task agreement award through the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks that allow federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and training. Here, the instrument is intended to support a professional education program focused on Afghan cultural heritage conservation, indicating an emphasis on training and capacity-building related to preservation of cultural resources. The eligibility language reinforces the single-recipient nature of the action, stating that the funding announcement is not requesting applications and that it is a single source award to a university (the recipient name appears truncated in the provided text as "University of ..."), meaning the partner organization had effectively been selected in advance under the applicable noncompetitive justification.
Financially, the estimated total funding for the action is listed as $98,207, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are both July 29, 2014, and the original and current closing dates are August 2, 2014, with an archive date of September 1, 2014. The listing shows expected awards as 1, consistent with the noncompetitive, single-source intent. Award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which sometimes appears in notices of intent or pre-award postings where the exact obligated amount may be handled within the task agreement documentation even though an estimated total is provided in the synopsis.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303. The notice also indicates that additional details were contained in an attached announcement, which would typically include the background, the specific scope of work, and the rationale for the noncompetitive award under the cited DOI policy.
