Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Provide Assistance in Managing Museum Collections and Information Resources" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100120297) describes an intended award of a cooperative agreement to support work related to museum collections and associated information resources within the National Park System. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the Natural Resources activity area. It is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs and resources of the National Park System. The estimated total funding amount for this action is $66,025, and there is no stated award ceiling or floor. Cost sharing or matching is not required.
This notice is not structured as an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. In practical terms, that means the agency is announcing its plan to fund a specific partner for a specific scope of work rather than requesting proposals from the broader public.
Eligibility is correspondingly limited. Although the general eligibility field references "Others" and points readers to additional eligibility information, the notice makes clear that this is a single-source award to the University of Arizona. Because of that, other organizations are not being invited to submit applications, and the posting functions primarily as an administrative and transparency step rather than a call for applicants.
The opportunity was posted and created on June 14, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 19, 2012, and an archive date of July 19, 2012. The short window reflects the fact that this is not a competitive process; the key purpose is to document the planned award rather than provide a lengthy application period. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
