Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "National Park Service Southwest Border Protect, Record Rock Art, Share Data at US and Mexican Sister Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00652), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work, specifically the protection and documentation of rock art and the sharing of related data between partner park units in the United States and Mexico. The overall intent is to support coordinated cultural resource stewardship along the Southwest border by improving how rock art is recorded, protected, and managed across "sister parks" that share connected landscapes, heritage, and management challenges.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NPS expects to remain substantially involved during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The award is being made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a cooperative framework used by DOI and partner institutions to carry out research, technical assistance, and training in support of public land and resource management. In practical terms, this means the work is being implemented through an established partnership mechanism that can support specialized expertise and collaboration.
Importantly, this posting is not a request for applications and is not a competitive solicitation. It is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award, and it cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. Eligibility is therefore not open in the usual way; the announcement explicitly states that this is a single source award to the Museum of Northern Arizona. The listing notes an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that the recipient has already been identified.
The financial details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $62,178. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a matching contribution as a condition of receiving the funds. The award ceiling and award floor fields are both listed as zero, which is often an artifact of how a notice is entered into the system for noncompetitive actions rather than a reflection of the actual planned award amount (the estimated total funding figure is the meaningful number in this context).
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on May 19, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 23, 2014, and an archive date of June 22, 2014. The short window aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent for a predetermined recipient rather than an open competition requiring time for proposal preparation and review.
For further information or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs tied to resources of the National Park System.
