Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Upland Processes and Controls on Sept 2013 Mass Movements" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00498) is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource research related to upland landscape processes that influenced, controlled, or contributed to mass movement events associated with September 2013. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the work is expected to involve substantial collaboration between the National Park Service and the recipient during project planning, execution, or interpretation of results. The opportunity sits under CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning it with research and applied science efforts that help parks understand and manage natural resources.
This notice is not a general call for proposals and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement states the award will be made through a task agreement under that CESU framework, reflecting a pre-identified partnership mechanism used by the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service to streamline collaborative research with academic and other qualified partners. The agency cites Department of Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach, indicating the selection is being justified under an allowable exception to competition requirements.
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $67,837. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the public listing, which often occurs in notices of intent or administrative postings where the primary purpose is to document an intended action rather than to provide a competitive range of potential award sizes. The eligible applicant category is labeled broadly as "Others," but the eligibility section clarifies the practical reality: the action is a single-source award to Colorado State University, meaning no other applicants are being solicited or considered through this announcement.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 5, 2014, and an archive date of June 4, 2014. These short timelines are consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than an open competition, since the objective is public transparency and administrative documentation rather than collecting proposals from multiple entities.
