Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Preparing National Park Service Records for Improved Public Access" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01396) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action designed to support work that improves how National Park Service records are prepared and made available for public use. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The overall intent is to produce practical outcomes that enhance public access to NPS records, implying activities such as organizing, preparing, and potentially processing records so they can be more easily accessed and used by researchers and the public.
This notice is not an open competition and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award through the National Park Service Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior authority for this approach, specifically 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, indicating the agency is using an approved noncompetitive justification pathway. Only one award is expected, and the identified recipient is Western Washington University, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply under this posting.
The estimated total funding listed for the action is $286,993, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both are shown as 0, which typically reflects that a specific ceiling/floor was not entered rather than suggesting the award amount is zero). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a mandatory match as a condition of receiving the funds. The opportunity was posted and created on July 31, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2015, and an archive date of September 8, 2015, reflecting that the notice was time-bound and has since been archived.
For administrative questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303. The awarding agency is the National Park Service, and the notice emphasizes that additional details are contained in the attached announcement referenced in the posting.
