Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Vegetation Mapping Project (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00740) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource work related to vegetation mapping within the National Park System. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work is framed as collaborative research and technical support that benefits park resource management.
This posting is not a typical competitive grant opportunity. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly states that it is being issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which provides authority and procedures for limiting competition under certain circumstances. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service had already identified the intended recipient and was publicly documenting its intent to award the agreement without soliciting proposals from other organizations.
The intended and only eligible recipient for this award is Northern Arizona University. Although the general eligibility field references "Others" and points readers to additional eligibility information, the announcement clarifies that this is a single-source award to that institution and that the notice is not a request for applications. As a result, other prospective applicants would not be able to apply for this funding under this announcement because no open competition was being conducted.
The estimated total funding amount listed is $125,020, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice anticipates one award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not using the ceiling/floor fields in the standard way or when the exact amount may be finalized within the task agreement documentation even though an estimated total is provided in the synopsis.
The timeline reflects the administrative nature of a notice of intent rather than an application window. The opportunity was posted and created on May 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2014, and it was archived on July 2, 2014. Those dates generally function as the public notice period and recordkeeping milestones, not as a period during which proposals would be accepted from the broader community.
For access issues or questions about the announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
