Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Santonian (Late Cretaceous) Microvertebrates of Bryce Canyon National Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources research, specifically paleontology. The project centers on Santonian-age (Late Cretaceous) microvertebrates from Bryce Canyon National Park, which generally refers to small fossil vertebrate remains such as teeth, bone fragments, scales, and other microfossils that can help reconstruct ancient ecosystems and improve scientific understanding of the park's geologic and biological history.
This notice is not an open competition or a standard call for proposals. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The award is expected to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative framework NPS uses to partner with academic and other qualified institutions on research and technical projects. The announcement explicitly states it is a single-source award to Weber State University, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient and is not seeking additional applicants.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The estimated total funding listed for the action is $30,099, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is anticipated. The opportunity was posted on December 10, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 14, 2010, and it was archived on January 13, 2011. Although the listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, the estimated total funding amount provides the practical funding expectation for the task agreement.
Eligibility is not broadly available. The listing includes an "Others" category, but the eligibility text clarifies the essential point: it is not a request for applications and is intended for a single recipient, Weber State University. For administrative or access issues with the full announcement, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
