Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Research Center Support, 2013 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00395) is a National Park Service discretionary notice describing an intended award rather than an open competition. The National Park Service planned to make a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), using a task agreement structure to support research center-related work connected to natural resource priorities and the resources of the National Park System. The notice is explicitly framed as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source action, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without a competitive application process.
In practical terms, this announcement was not a request for applications and did not invite proposals from the general public. The eligible recipient was identified in advance: the University of Wyoming. Because it was a CESU task agreement, the arrangement reflects a cooperative research and training model (CFDA 15.945), typically used when the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project and wants to leverage an established cooperative framework with an academic or partner institution.
The funding details indicate a relatively small, targeted award. The estimated total funding was $27,500, with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching was required. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which commonly appears in notices that are primarily informational or that rely on an attached announcement for the specific scope and budget terms.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on May 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 21, 2013, and an archive date of June 20, 2013. The short window between posting and closing aligns with the fact that this was a pre-identified, noncompetitive award rather than an open solicitation requiring time for applicants to prepare submissions.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at 303-969-2392.
