Opportunity Summary:

The opportunity titled "Research and Reporting for Yosemite Archeological Collections" is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call and not a request for applications. The purpose of the posting is simply to give public notice that NPS plans to fund specific project work without full and open competition. In practical terms, this announcement is informational rather than competitive, and it signals that NPS has already identified the intended partner and award mechanism.

The planned award is structured as a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P13AC00676) with the University of California, Merced. UC Merced is participating as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a network commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education. The project scope, as stated in the title and description, centers on research and reporting connected to Yosemite National Park archeological collections, which typically involves analyzing curated artifacts and associated documentation, synthesizing findings, and producing formal reports that support stewardship of National Park System cultural resources.

From the funding details provided, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the humanities/cultural affairs domain, tied to CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a sole intended recipient action rather than a multi-recipient competition. The estimated total funding amount is $34,569, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor (both set at zero), which is common in notices where the key point is public disclosure of intent rather than solicitation terms.

Eligibility is listed broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because the notice is not soliciting applications, that eligibility category does not function as an invitation for new applicants in this instance. The posting dates indicate it was created and posted on August 8, 2013, with an archive date of August 13, 2013, and both the original and current closing dates explicitly state that it is not a request for applications. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Cameron Reed at the NPS (phone 415-623-2253, email CameronReed@nps.gov), and an additional information link is provided through Grants.gov.
