Opportunity Summary:
The SEKI Transportation Experience Study (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8553120002) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action intended to support research and training tied to natural resource management and the broader stewardship mission of the National Park System. The award would be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial involvement from the National Park Service during the study rather than functioning as a hands-off grant. The opportunity sits under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to National Park System resources.
This announcement is not an open, competitive solicitation. It is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive task agreement award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive nature is explicitly tied to Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which allows certain awards to be made without competition under specific circumstances. In practical terms, that means the agency already identified the partner it plans to work with and is not seeking proposals from other institutions.
Eligibility is therefore effectively limited to the named recipient: Arizona State University. While the listing may show a broad applicant category (such as "Others"), the eligibility clarification makes it clear that this is a single-source action and not a request for applications. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated for the recipient.
From a funding perspective, the estimated total amount for this project is $67,673, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the system record, which often happens in notices of intent or records that are primarily informational rather than structured for competitive application submissions. The posting and creation date are both March 15, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2012, and an archive date of April 19, 2012. Those short timeframes align with the fact that the announcement is serving as a public notice rather than a window for applicants to prepare and submit proposals.
Anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing issues obtaining it electronically is directed to contact the listed National Park Service grants/agreement specialist, William Tallbull, at 303-969-2891.
