Opportunity Summary:
The Preservation of Spanish Colonial Resources through International Cooperation and partnerships TICRAT opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8690120013) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action set up as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity category. Rather than being an open, competitive grant program, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award issued under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means NPS already identified the intended recipient and is using a justified, single-source approach rather than soliciting proposals from the public.
The award is being made through the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism, specifically as a task agreement under that CESU. CESUs are partnership frameworks that allow federal agencies and partner institutions to collaborate on research, technical assistance, and training tied to public land and resource priorities. Here, the stated purpose is preservation of Spanish Colonial resources, with an emphasis on international cooperation and partnerships, suggesting the work is likely to involve cross-border or multinational collaboration and coordination related to heritage resources connected to Spanish Colonial history and its material remains.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Eligibility is therefore functionally limited to the named recipient, and the notice states the single-source award will go to the University of Arizona. The listing reflects that by indicating eligible applicants as "Others" with additional eligibility clarification, but the eligibility information removes any ambiguity by stating it is a single source award and not open for competing submissions. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified.
From a funding and timing standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $61,000 and anticipates one award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which often occurs in postings that are informational notices rather than competitive solicitations with defined minimums/maximums for applicants. The opportunity was posted and created on May 15, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 21, 2012, and it was later archived on June 20, 2012. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent or noncompetitive action where the agency is meeting public notice requirements rather than collecting applications.
The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. Anyone needing access to the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392, indicating the administrative point of contact for the award documentation and any issues accessing the attachment referenced in the notice.
