Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Visitor Capacities on Longs Peak opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00895) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources management within the National Park System. It is being issued as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System CFDA listing (15.945). The intent is to support work related to understanding or managing visitor capacity on Longs Peak, a heavily visited and resource-sensitive area in Rocky Mountain National Park where visitor use levels can directly affect safety, visitor experience, and natural and cultural resources.
This announcement is not an open competition and should not be read as a request for applications. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), using a task agreement mechanism. The National Park Service cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding noncompetitively. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the partner it plans to fund and is publishing the notice to document the planned award and provide transparency.
The sole eligible and intended recipient is Utah State University, as explicitly stated in the eligibility information. The posting date and creation date are both June 8, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2015, and an archive date of July 17, 2015. The estimated total funding amount is $28,935. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows no specified award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as $0), which typically indicates that the standard ceiling/floor fields were not used to define the budget range for this notice, even though an estimated total project amount is provided. One award was expected.
For additional details beyond the brief synopsis, the notice points readers to an attached announcement, and it provides a contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303.
