Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Visitor Experience Study (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00089) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service that will be carried out through a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose is to support a visitor experience study within the context of natural resource and National Park System priorities, aligning with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to the resources of the National Park System. The notice indicates the NPS intends to issue a task agreement rather than run an open competition, meaning the work is framed as a targeted research collaboration rather than a typical grant program where multiple applicants submit proposals for review.
This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent and a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means NPS has already identified the recipient organization and is documenting its intent to make a single-source award. The agency states this is not a request for applications and clarifies that the award is intended for Washington State University, so other parties are not being solicited to apply. The eligibility category is therefore listed broadly in the system, but the narrative eligibility statement controls and makes clear this is effectively closed to new applicants.
The expected award count is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $61,188. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both recorded as 0), which typically reflects that the funding level is set through the task agreement rather than defined through a range in a competitive funding notice. Key dates reflect how brief the posting was: it was posted and created on December 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 13, 2014, and it was archived on January 12, 2015. Those dates are consistent with a notice-of-intent posting that serves more as public documentation of a planned single-source award than as a window for proposal submissions.
For administrative questions or if the full announcement materials are difficult to access online, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
