Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Remote Sensing of Six Archaeological Sites Along the Colorado River." The key point is that this notice is not a request for applications and does not open a competitive application process. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive award mechanism.
The work will be carried out under Task Agreement #P12AC30196 (R8213120013) and falls under an existing Cooperative Agreement (#H5000095041) with the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The University of Kentucky Research Foundation is identified as a university partner within the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) network, which is commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with academic institutions on research, technical assistance, and resource management needs. In practical terms, this means the NPS has already selected its partner organization and intends to use an established cooperative framework to execute the project.
The purpose of the project is to evaluate how well terrestrial remote sensing methods can support cultural resource management at six archaeological sites located along the Colorado River. "Terrestrial remote sensing" generally refers to ground-based or near-ground scanning and mapping techniques that can document site conditions with high detail, often with minimal physical contact. The project is framed as a collaborative partnership, emphasizing joint work between NPS and the university partner to assess the usefulness of these tools for managing and protecting archaeological resources. The stated goal is not simply data collection, but specifically testing the potential of these technologies as a practical management tool for cultural resources, which can include monitoring change over time, improving documentation, and supporting preservation decisions.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type, reflecting an arrangement where the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the project rather than issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and resources of the National Park System. The anticipated number of awards is one, consistent with the non-competitive intent described in the announcement. The total estimated funding is $15,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $15,000, indicating a fixed award amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed.
The posting date and creation date are both April 3, 2012. The original and current closing date are April 5, 2012, and the archive date is April 6, 2012. These very short dates align with the fact that the notice is informational rather than a solicitation; the "closing" functions more like an administrative timeline for public notice than a deadline for applicants. Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because this is explicitly not open for applications and identifies the intended recipient, that eligibility statement is largely procedural rather than an invitation for submissions.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Judith Couch, Financial Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 865-436-1224. An email field is shown but not provided in the text excerpt.
