Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Visitor Use Assessment to Inform the Mariposa Grove Environmental Impact Statement, Yosemite National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8813110035) is a discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity area. Its purpose is to support a visitor use assessment that will feed directly into the Environmental Impact Statement process for Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park, meaning the work is intended to generate data and analysis on how visitors use the area and what that implies for planning, management, and environmental review.
This notice is not an open competition and it is not a request for applications. 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 cites DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. The only identified recipient is the University of Arizona, and the eligibility field indicates that while the opportunity is categorized broadly (with eligible applicants listed as "Others"), the practical eligibility is limited to that single institution because the award is pre-selected rather than competed.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $67,731. No cost sharing or matching was required. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which typically signals that the financial details are governed by the specific task agreement and supporting documentation rather than being expressed as a standard competed grant range in the public listing. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which commonly appears in postings that do not map cleanly to a single CFDA program listing or where the action is being recorded under a general administrative category.
Key dates indicate the notice was posted and created on March 24, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 28, 2011, and an archive date of April 27, 2011. Given that this was a noncompetitive notice of intent rather than a solicitation, the short open period functions more as an administrative posting window than as time for proposal preparation by outside parties.
For anyone who needed access to the full announcement materials at the time, the listed point of contact was Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, with instructions specifically aimed at resolving difficulties accessing the announcement electronically.
