National Park Service Rock Creek Park Administrative History | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service "Rock Creek Park Administrative History" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01288) is a discretionary federal funding notice announcing the National Park Service's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to support work related to documenting or developing the administrative history of Rock Creek Park. The activity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs connected to resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, the project is positioned as a research and documentation effort that helps the Park Service compile, interpret, and preserve institutional knowledge about how Rock Creek Park has been managed over time, typically including major policy decisions, planning efforts, resource management actions, organizational changes, and other administrative milestones that shape park operations and stewardship.

This notice is specifically framed as a task agreement award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks used by federal agencies to collaborate with non-federal partners on research, technical assistance, and education projects. Here, the Park Service is signaling that the award will be issued through that CESU mechanism rather than through an open, competitive grant competition. The announcement explicitly states it is a "notice of intent" and that the award will be noncompetitive, citing Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the justification for making the award without full and open competition. Because it is a notice of intent, it functions more as a public transparency step about an anticipated award rather than a broad call for new applications from a wide range of applicants.

Funding for the project is listed with an estimated total of $76,400, with an expected number of awards set at one. The posting date and creation date are both July 20, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2015, and an archive date of August 28, 2015, indicating the opportunity was available for a short window before being archived. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly reflects that the specific funding amount is addressed in the attached announcement or negotiated within the task agreement rather than being expressed as a standard minimum/maximum range in the summary fields.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. That restriction suggests the intended recipient is likely a qualified nonprofit partner capable of producing historical research and administrative history documentation, but not a university or college acting as the applicant entity. Since the award is identified as noncompetitive and routed through the CESU framework, the eligibility field should be read in the context of the intended partnership approach rather than as an invitation for broad applicant competition.

For additional details, the notice directs interested parties to consult the attached announcement, implying that key specifics such as the scope of work, deliverables, reporting requirements, period of performance, and any special terms of the cooperative agreement are contained in that attachment rather than in the brief synopsis. The listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303, particularly for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
