Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Research Collections and Improve Documentation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00979) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support work in the natural resources area, specifically focused on research collections and strengthening associated documentation. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by the federal agency during performance rather than operating as a hands-off grant. The opportunity is issued under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System CFDA listing (15.945), reflecting its alignment with NPS priorities around scientific, resource, and collections stewardship.
This notice is not an open competition. It is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy authority (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means NPS was signaling its intent to enter into a task agreement with a pre-identified partner rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants. The eligible applicant information confirms this by stating it is not a request for applications and that the single-source recipient is the University of Arizona.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity indicates an estimated total funding amount of $35,624 and an expectation of one award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing includes an award ceiling and floor of $0, which is common in notices of intent or records where the exact ceiling is not expressed in the public synopsis even though an estimated total is provided. The posting and creation dates are July 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2013, and an archive date of August 28, 2013. Those dates reinforce that this was largely an administrative public notice rather than a window for applicants to submit materials, since the award path was already defined as noncompetitive.
The announcement provides a point of contact for access issues related to the full notice: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. Overall, the key takeaway is that this was an NPS CESU task agreement intended to improve management of NPS research collections and documentation, publicly posted as a required notice of intent for a single-source cooperative agreement with the University of Arizona, rather than a broad grant opportunity open to outside applicants.
