Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Through Public Interest Research, Complete Notice of Inventory Completion of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GLCA) (PMIS 176886)" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1445120001) is a discretionary cooperative agreement action focused on natural resources and National Park System stewardship. The stated purpose is to support work that will complete a "Notice of Inventory Completion" associated with Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GLCA), tied to the NPS project identifier PMIS 176886. In practical terms, the opportunity is framed around finalizing an official inventory completion notice, a kind of formal deliverable often connected to collections, documentation, and compliance-related reporting required for federal land and resource management.
This announcement is explicitly not a standard, open competition grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The NPS cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. The eligible applicant pool is therefore not broadly available to the public; the award is intended for one specific recipient identified in the notice: the Museum of Northern Arizona. The listing also flags "Others (see text field...)" under eligible applicants, but the eligibility clarification makes clear that this is not a request for applications and is structured as a single-source action.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $37,922. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with CESU-style agreements that commonly support research, documentation, and applied science or cultural/natural resource support for parks through partner institutions. While the listing does not state an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as 0), that is typical of postings that primarily function as a public notice rather than a competitive funding call with variable award sizes.
Timing details indicate the announcement was posted and created on November 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of November 28, 2011, and an archive date of December 28, 2011. Those dates further reinforce that the posting is meant to document an intended action rather than solicit and evaluate proposals over an extended period, since a five-day window is unusually short for open competitions but common for notice-of-intent postings.
For additional information or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.
