Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Technical Assistance for the Upper Columbia Basin Network including database development, GIS and science communication PH 3" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR2126120004). The work is framed as technical assistance in the natural resources area for the Upper Columbia Basin Network, with an emphasis on three practical deliverables: database development, GIS support, and science communication. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on the funded activities rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This announcement is not an open call for proposals. 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 notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. The eligible recipient is specifically identified as the University of Idaho, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply and there is no competitive selection process associated with this posting.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with the project focus on providing applied scientific and technical support to NPS resource management needs. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The estimated total funding amount is $58,000, and the award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which often occurs in listings where the specific negotiated amount is described elsewhere or where the posting is primarily procedural rather than a standard competitive funding announcement.
Key dates in the record include a posted date of May 10, 2012, and an original and current closing date of May 15, 2012, with an archive date of June 14, 2012. In the context of a single-source notice of intent, the "closing date" generally functions as an administrative posting period rather than a deadline for applicants, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
For additional details or to obtain the full announcement if there are access issues, the NPS contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
