Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service UWNPS Research Center Support, 2014 15 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00783) is a discretionary National Park Service action to provide support for research center activities through a cooperative agreement. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The announcement was posted and created on June 2, 2014, with a very short open period ending June 6, 2014, and it was later archived on July 6, 2014. The estimated total funding associated with this action is $30,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of Wyoming. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service had already identified the recipient and planned to make one award (Expected Awards: 1) rather than evaluating proposals from multiple applicants. The eligibility field reflects this by indicating "Others" with clarification in the eligibility information that the award is intended solely for the University of Wyoming.
The award will be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are cooperative partnerships used by federal agencies to accomplish research, technical assistance, and education projects with academic and other partners, and a task agreement is a common mechanism within that framework for defining the scope of work, roles, deliverables, and project administration for a specific effort. The National Park Service also cites its authority for making a noncompetitive award, referencing the Department of the Interior 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances and justifications for limiting competition.
Administrative details in the listing include an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which typically indicates that no formal minimum or maximum was published in the public listing even though an estimated total funding amount was provided. For anyone needing the full text but unable to access it electronically, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
