Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Social Science Research for Wilderness Planning in Yosemite NP, Phase 2" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR8836120010) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources, specifically supporting social science research that will inform wilderness planning efforts in Yosemite National Park. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by NPS alongside the recipient, rather than operating as a standard, hands-off grant.
This notice is explicitly not a public request for applications. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy authority for noncompetitive awards, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which governs circumstances in which the agency can proceed without full and open competition. Consistent with that approach, the only identified eligible recipient for this award is the University of Idaho, and the eligibility statement clarifies that the opportunity is not open for other applicants to compete.
The opportunity was posted and created on May 25, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2012, and it was archived on June 29, 2012. The short window between posting and closing aligns with the fact that the award was intended as a directed, single-institution action rather than a competitive solicitation.
In terms of funding details, the estimated total funding amount is $57,621, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing includes an expected number of awards of one. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which typically indicates that the public listing is not being used to advertise a range for competitive proposals and that final funding specifics are handled through the internal agreement and task arrangement.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is commonly used for research and technical assistance partnerships that support NPS management needs. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact provided is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
