Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Scotts Bluff In Depth Historical Research opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00268) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service to support focused historical research related to Scotts Bluff. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to the Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System CFDA listing (15.945). Rather than functioning like an open grant competition, this posting serves primarily as an administrative notice describing the government s intent to make an award through an established partnership framework.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not a request for applications. The National Park Service states that this is a single source, noncompetitive action and is being issued as a notice of intent under the Department of the Interior 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C authority. In practical terms, that means the agency has already selected the intended recipient and is documenting its rationale and process for making a direct award without soliciting proposals from other organizations. The named recipient is Colorado State University, and the award will be made as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a mechanism NPS uses to collaborate with partner institutions on research and technical assistance that aligns with park management and resource needs.
The posting indicates an expectation of one award with an estimated total funding amount of 47,500 dollars. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and no specific award ceiling or floor is listed, which is consistent with some CESU task agreement notices where the funding amount is specified but the standard ceiling and floor fields are left at zero. The opportunity was posted and created on March 31, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 4, 2014, and an archive date of May 4, 2014. Because it is a noncompetitive, single recipient action, the short window is best understood as the time period the notice was made publicly visible rather than a true application deadline for the broader public.
Eligibility is presented in a limited way. The general eligible applicant category is shown as Others with a note to see additional eligibility information, but the narrative clarifies that the announcement is intended for a single source award to Colorado State University. In other words, other prospective applicants are not being invited to apply, and there is no competitive selection process associated with this notice.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303 969 2303, specifically for assistance if there are difficulties accessing the announcement electronically.
