Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Southeast Coast Network Database Program (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00357) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service (NPS) that was posted on May 9, 2013 and closed on May 14, 2013, with an archive date of June 13, 2013. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity area and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The total estimated amount of federal funding associated with this action is $72,816, and the agency anticipated making one award. No cost sharing or matching was required, and the listing references CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System.
This notice is not a typical open competition. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to Colorado State University. The NPS states explicitly that the announcement is not a request for applications and that no other applicants are being solicited. The award is to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework NPS uses to partner with academic institutions and other eligible entities for research, technical assistance, and capacity-building projects. The noncompetitive nature of the action is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is cited as the authority for proceeding with a single-source award.
In practical terms, this opportunity signals NPS intent to fund a specific partner to support database-related work for the Southeast Coast Network, which is part of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring network system. While the short public synopsis does not detail the technical scope, the title indicates the work is focused on database program support, which commonly includes tasks like maintaining or improving data management systems, standardizing datasets, supporting data quality control, assisting with data integration and reporting, and ensuring that natural resource monitoring information is organized and usable for park management and scientific purposes. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement under a CESU task agreement, the work typically involves substantial collaboration between NPS staff and the recipient institution rather than a hands-off grant.
For anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
