Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Rehabilitate and Restore Vegetation and Historic Features along obsolete roads" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00549) is a discretionary grant notice describing the National Park Service's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to support natural resource and park resource restoration work. The project focus is on rehabilitating areas impacted by obsolete roads, with an emphasis on restoring vegetation and protecting or reestablishing historic features that may have been affected by past road construction, use, or abandonment. In practical terms, this kind of work commonly includes activities like recontouring disturbed roadbeds, stabilizing soils to reduce erosion, reestablishing native plant communities, and ensuring that any historically significant landscape elements or features associated with the park setting are properly conserved or repaired as part of the restoration process.
This opportunity is being issued through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) as a task agreement award. CESUs are partnership networks that help federal agencies collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and applied conservation projects. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as participating in technical direction, coordinating priorities, or collaborating on implementation and reporting.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not an open competition and it is not a request for applications. It is a Notice of Intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The announcement states the intended recipient is the University of Wyoming, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply and the listing is primarily for public transparency about the planned award.
From the funding and administrative details provided, the National Park Service anticipates making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $34,500. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The posting date and creation date are both June 10, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 14, 2013, and an archive date of July 14, 2013. Even though a closing date is listed, in this context it functions more as an administrative timeline for the intent notice rather than a deadline for competing applications, since the award is designated as single-source.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing trouble retrieving it electronically, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
