Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Utah Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1263100005) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) to support community-focused conservation and recreation planning in Utah. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category and is implemented through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, this means the work is intended to be collaborative, with NPS involvement in shaping, guiding, and coordinating the technical assistance that will be delivered.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. It is a notice of intent for a single-source, noncompetitive award made in accordance with DOI policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). Utah State University is the identified recipient, and the purpose of the agreement is for Utah State University to work with NPS on developing plans that enhance community conservation efforts and recreation planning across the state. The emphasis is on planning and technical support rather than construction or direct implementation, aligning with the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program model of helping communities build capacity, coordinate partners, and design feasible conservation and recreation strategies.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $25,283, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The published award ceiling and floor were listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices that function primarily as administrative postings for an intended award rather than a competition with defined ranges. Key dates show the posting date and creation date as May 11, 2010, with a closing date of May 15, 2010, and an archive date of June 14, 2010, reflecting that this was a short-window announcement tied to a pre-identified recipient rather than an open application period.
Eligibility is therefore effectively limited to the named institution, Utah State University, even though the general eligibility field references "Others" and directs readers to additional information. The core deliverable described is the development of plans to improve and expand community conservation and recreation planning in Utah, which can include supporting local partnerships, identifying recreation and conservation priorities, and producing planning documents or frameworks that communities and agencies can use to guide future projects.
For administrative or access questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
