Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Resource Projects at Devils Tower funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00909) is a National Park Service notice describing an intended, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award connected to natural resource work at Devils Tower. It falls under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework the National Park Service uses to carry out cooperative research, technical assistance, and related resource-focused projects with qualified partner institutions.
This announcement is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, signaling that the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by the National Park Service in carrying out the work rather than functioning purely as a hands-off grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System. The total estimated funding amount listed is $28,000, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
A key point of the posting is that it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" to make a single-source award to the University of Wyoming. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which provides a basis for certain single-source awards when specific conditions are met. Because of that structure, other organizations are not being invited to submit proposals under this particular notice, even though the eligible applicant field is broadly labeled and then clarified by the statement that the award is single-source.
Timeline details indicate the opportunity was posted and created on June 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2015, and an archive date of July 18, 2015. In practical terms, those dates reflect the public posting window for the notice of intent rather than an application period for multiple applicants, since the award pathway is already defined as noncompetitive.
For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
