NPS Southeast Regional Communications Technical Editing Support | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "NPS Southeast Regional Communications Technical Editing Support" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00339) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, and it falls under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The notice was posted on September 4, 2014, and archived on September 18, 2014, with an estimated total funding amount of $149,126 and an expectation of a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and no stated award floor or ceiling (both listed as zero, which typically signals the specifics are set through the agreement rather than competed ranges).

The core purpose of the project is to provide technical editing support for both public-facing and internal agency publications produced by the Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Networks in the NPS Southeast Region. In practical terms, this means the work focuses on strengthening the clarity, consistency, and overall quality of reports and communication products that come out of the Southeast Region's I&M programs. These kinds of publications often include natural resource monitoring reports, technical summaries, data briefs, protocols, and other documents that need to be accurate, readable, and aligned with NPS standards. The objective is not to conduct field research itself, but to improve how scientific and technical information is communicated and published so it can be used effectively by park managers, scientists, partner agencies, and the public.

This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent for a single-source award to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGRF) and is not a request for applications. In other words, NPS is using this posting to satisfy public notice requirements while stating that it plans to fund the project without full and open competition. The justification given is that the award would be made under an existing cooperative agreement (P13AC00443) with UGRF, which is a partner under the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PSAC CESU). CESUs are partnership frameworks that allow federal agencies like NPS to collaborate with designated member institutions on research, technical assistance, and related support activities, and they are often used when an agency has an established partner well-positioned to deliver specialized services.

Although the listing includes general eligibility language that references certain nonprofit organizations, the specific eligibility for this opportunity is effectively restricted by the single-source intent described in the notice. The "closing date" fields reinforce this point by repeating that it is not a request for applications. The project is also described as multi-year, but continuation beyond the initial period is subject to the availability of future funding, meaning NPS anticipated ongoing needs for editing support but could not guarantee out-year funding.

For anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it electronically, the listed NPS contact was Alison Smith (phone: 404-507-5754; email: AlisonSmith@nps.gov). The opportunity also referenced Grants.gov as the central listing platform through the additional information link.
