Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Rapid Ethnographic Assessment of Fort Laramie National Historic Site, Year 2" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1217110001) is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource-related work through a cooperative agreement. The NPS planned a single award under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, using a task agreement mechanism. The opportunity was posted and created on March 16, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2011, and it was later archived on April 19, 2011. The estimated total funding amount for this action was $30,000, with no stated award ceiling or floor, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
This notice is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). Eligibility is therefore not broadly available to the public; the announcement explicitly identifies the University of Montana as the intended recipient. The listing includes a general eligibility category of "Others," but the accompanying eligibility statement clarifies that this is a directed award rather than a solicitation.
In practical terms, the announcement signals the government s intent to fund a second year of a rapid ethnographic assessment effort at Fort Laramie National Historic Site. While the short public summary does not spell out the full scope of work, the title indicates the project involves ethnographic methods, typically used to document and analyze the perspectives, histories, cultural connections, and contemporary relationships that communities and stakeholder groups may have with a place. Under the CESU model, these kinds of cooperative agreements are commonly used to partner with universities and other research organizations to carry out applied research, documentation, and technical assistance that supports NPS planning and stewardship.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement details, the listed point of contact was Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, particularly for help accessing the complete announcement electronically.
