Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Research Assistance in Preparation for a Historic Structures Strategy for Yellowstone National Park Phase III" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1580110362) is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the natural resources activity area, issued under CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The purpose of the action is to support research assistance that will contribute to Phase III of a Historic Structures Strategy for Yellowstone National Park, which typically involves gathering, organizing, and analyzing information needed to guide long-term planning, preservation priorities, and management approaches for historic built resources within the park.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications and is not being competed. Instead, it serves as a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The NPS indicates that the award will be made via a task agreement under the CESU framework, which is commonly used to facilitate cooperative, mission-related research and technical assistance between the NPS and partner institutions. The noncompetitive nature of the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which outlines circumstances under which single-source agreements may be appropriate.
Only one award was anticipated, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The posting date and creation date were July 28, 2011, and the closing date was August 2, 2011, with the opportunity later archived on September 1, 2011. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. While the general eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," the eligibility statement clarifies the practical outcome: this announcement is tied to a single-source award to the University of Montana, meaning other entities were not invited to apply and would not be considered under this notice.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact was William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.
