Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Science Communication Assistance, additional funds on FY12" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1572120024) was published by the National Park Service on July 12, 2012, and relates to natural resources work under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. It is structured as a cooperative agreement and is tied to the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the award is intended to support collaborative research, technical assistance, and related services that help the National Park Service meet mission needs, in this case focused on science communication assistance.
This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, consistent with Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The announcement states that the action will result in a task agreement award under the Rocky Mountain CESU, which typically means the work will be issued as a specific, scoped task under an existing cooperative framework rather than being opened for broad competition. The opportunity indicates there is only one expected award and clarifies that it is a single-source award to Utah State University. Because of that, the listing is effectively informational and administrative rather than an invitation for other organizations to submit proposals.
The total estimated funding amount is $33,693, labeled as additional funds for fiscal year 2012. The posting lists no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in older listings or in notices where the funding amount is handled through an attached announcement or internal task agreement documentation rather than expressed through standard ceiling/floor fields. Key dates show the opportunity posted and created on July 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2012, and an archive date of August 16, 2012. In practical terms, the short window reinforces that this was not meant for open competition but rather to complete the public notice process associated with issuing the task agreement.
For access issues or further details, the point of contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392, with a note that the full announcement may be attached and that assistance is available if the electronic version cannot be accessed.
