Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Traditional Cultural Property Nomination for Rainbow Bridge NM" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7481120020) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support work related to natural resources and the protection and documentation of resources within the National Park System. The activity is tied specifically to Rainbow Bridge National Monument and focuses on developing a Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) nomination, which typically involves identifying, documenting, and evaluating places that hold ongoing cultural, religious, or historical significance to affiliated communities, often including Indigenous tribes. The end product implied by the title is a formal TCP nomination package that can be used within the federal preservation framework, commonly associated with eligibility evaluation and potential listing in the National Register of Historic Places, or otherwise used to strengthen cultural resource management decisions.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks designed to facilitate collaborative research, technical assistance, and education between federal agencies and partner institutions. In this case, the intended recipient is the University of Colorado, and the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. That means other entities are not being asked to apply, and no open competition will occur for this award.
The NPS cites its authority for a noncompetitive approach under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, indicating the agency has determined a single-source award is appropriate under that policy. The opportunity anticipates one award in total, with an estimated funding amount of $27,799. There is no stated award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which generally indicates the specific award amount is set administratively rather than through a typical competitive range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on June 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2012, and an archive date of July 27, 2012. The very short posting window is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for a pre-identified partner rather than an open call. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs for resources of the National Park System. The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordination, guidance, or participation in deliverables) compared with a standard grant.
