Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled NPS NOIP15AC01018 is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, this is not an open competition for funding. It is a formal notice of intent indicating that NPS plans to make a noncompetitive, single-source task agreement award under an existing CESU framework. The agency cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach, which generally covers circumstances where a specific recipient is uniquely qualified or otherwise appropriate for a directed award.

This announcement is explicitly described as not being a request for applications. The intended recipient is Northern Arizona University, and the eligibility language reflects that by directing readers to additional eligibility text while also stating plainly that it is a single-source award. Because of that structure, the posting functions more as a transparency and documentation step than a solicitation. Organizations looking for opportunities to apply would not submit proposals under this notice, since the award is already intended for a specific institution.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, with a CFDA listing of 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The estimated total funding amount is $180,012, and the expected number of awards is one. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not structured as competitive solicitations with variable award ranges; the meaningful figure for prospective readers is the estimated total funding.

The timing information shows the notice was posted and created on June 19, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2015, and an archive date of July 28, 2015. For noncompetitive notices like this, the "closing date" generally marks the end of the public notice period rather than an application deadline in the usual sense, since applications are not being solicited.

For anyone needing the full announcement but experiencing access issues, the point of contact provided is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
