Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Research Assistance in Preparation for a Historic Structures Strategy for Yellowstone National Park, Phase II" is a discretionary funding action intended to support research work that will help the agency develop or refine a Historic Structures Strategy for Yellowstone National Park. In practical terms, the effort is focused on producing research assistance and analysis that the park can use to guide how it plans for, prioritizes, and manages historic structures across Yellowstone, including decisions that typically involve preservation needs, documentation, treatment approaches, and long-term planning for culturally significant built resources.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement and is being issued through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership mechanism used by the Department of the Interior to collaborate with universities and other partners on research and technical assistance. The announcement is explicitly a notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, meaning it is not open for general applications and is not requesting proposals from the public. Instead, it is a noncompetitive, single-source action made under the authority referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, a departmental policy citation that covers circumstances where a noncompetitive award is justified.
The award is designated for a single recipient: the University of Montana. The listing makes clear that even though it appears on the federal grants portal as a "funding opportunity," it functions as a formal public notice that the agency plans to issue a task agreement under the CESU framework to that specific institution. Because of that, the usual competitive elements such as broad eligibility, an application package, or a peer-review process are not part of this particular posting. The "Eligible Applicants" field indicates "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility text, which confirms the single-source nature of the award.
Key administrative details include a posted date and creation date of July 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2010, and an archive date of August 25, 2010. The estimated total funding associated with the action is $75,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which often occurs in postings that serve primarily as notices of intent or administrative placeholders rather than a traditional competitive grant announcement that specifies a funding range. The opportunity is categorized under "Natural Resources" and uses a "Not Elsewhere Classified" CFDA placeholder number (00.000), which is also common in older or specialized postings that do not map neatly onto a single standard assistance listing.
