Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "National Park Service - UW NPS Research Center Research Support 2011-2012" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1465110154) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support research activities through an existing federal partnership framework. The award is being issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a collaborative network used by DOI agencies to work with partner institutions on research, technical assistance, and related support that benefits public lands and resource management.
This posting is not an open competition and is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of Wyoming. The announcement cites the Department of the Interior's 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means the agency is publicly documenting that it plans to fund a specific partner institution rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. While the public notice does not describe the detailed scope of work in the text provided, the title and CESU context indicate the funding supports the UW-NPS Research Center's research support activities for the 2011-2012 period, likely tied to research and training that aligns with National Park Service needs and the resources of the National Park System.
The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $27,500. There is no stated cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows no formal award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which often occurs in notices that function primarily as an administrative posting rather than a competitive solicitation with set funding ranges.
Key dates in the posting include a posted and created date of June 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2011, and an archive date of July 22, 2011. Because it is not an application-based opportunity, the "closing date" is better interpreted as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submissions.
The CFDA program number associated with the action is 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with research, technical assistance, and training efforts that support park resources and NPS management priorities. For access issues related to the full announcement materials, the listed contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
