Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Visitor Use and Resource Impacts Model Development and Simulation at Devils Postpile National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8590110002) is a discretionary, natural-resources-focused cooperative agreement intended to support the development and simulation of a model that links visitor use patterns with potential resource impacts at Devils Postpile National Monument. The overall purpose is to provide the park with a decision-support tool that can help managers understand how different levels or types of visitation may affect natural and cultural resources, and to test management scenarios through modeling rather than relying only on trial-and-error approaches in the field.
This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly cites the Department of the Interior policy authority for a noncompetitive award (DOI 505 DM 2.12C), signaling that the agency has determined a direct award is appropriate under its internal justification criteria. Consistent with that structure, the eligibility is effectively limited: the posting states that it is not requesting applications and that the award is intended for a single recipient, the University of Arizona. The listing may show "Others" under eligible applicants, but the attached eligibility clarification makes clear that this is a directed, single-source action rather than an open call.
In terms of funding and timing, the opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $76,078. The posting does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which typically indicates that the specific agreement amount and terms are handled through the task agreement and supporting documentation rather than through a competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on December 6, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 10, 2010, and an archive date of January 9, 2011. The very short open period is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting whose purpose is public transparency rather than soliciting proposals.
Administratively, the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on technical direction, data needs, model requirements, review of methods, and application of results to management decisions. The award is made under the CESU framework, which is commonly used by DOI agencies to partner with universities and other research entities for applied science and technical assistance aligned with federal land management needs.
For access and administrative questions, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, with instructions to contact her if there are difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically.
