Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Restoration Team Stewardship Project (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01413) is a discretionary federal funding action posted by the National Park Service under CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is natural resources. The notice explains that the NPS intends to make a single task agreement award through the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework commonly used by DOI agencies to carry out research, technical assistance, and resource stewardship work with established academic and nonprofit partners.
This posting is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open competition. It is not a request for applications and is being issued as a noncompetitive (single-source) award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is documenting the rationale for using a noncompetitive process rather than soliciting proposals from the broader public. The announcement states the award is intended specifically for Northern Arizona University, and the "Eligible Applicants" field points to additional eligibility text to clarify that this is not an open opportunity.
From a funding perspective, the estimated total amount associated with the action is $67,923, with an expected number of awards listed as 1. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the listing, which typically indicates the listing is being used primarily for public notice purposes rather than to communicate competitive funding ranges, or that final amounts are handled within the associated task agreement documentation.
The timeline in the listing reflects a short public-notice window. The opportunity was posted and created on August 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2014, and it was archived on September 8, 2014. Because it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, the closing date functions more like the end of the notice period than a deadline for submitting proposals.
For additional details beyond what is summarized in the listing, the notice directs interested parties to the full attached announcement. If there are issues accessing the materials electronically, the designated point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
