Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "University of Idaho Concession Visitor Survey - Correction" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00152), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary award issued as a cooperative agreement under the Information and Statistics activity category. It was posted and created on July 29, 2013, with an archive date of August 5, 2013. The listing is essentially an administrative correction tied to an existing effort rather than an open call for new proposals, and it is explicitly marked as a "Notification of Intent to Award," meaning the agency is not accepting applications.
The purpose of the award is to address payment problems so the project can successfully complete the implementation of the initial year of a three-year national benchmark survey focused on visitor satisfaction with park concession services. In practical terms, the project supports standardized, nationwide measurement of how visitors feel about services provided by concessioners operating within units of the National Park System (for example, lodging, food service, retail, guided activities, and other visitor-facing amenities run under concession contracts). By characterizing the effort as a benchmark survey, the announcement indicates the intent to produce comparable, repeatable satisfaction metrics that can be tracked over time and used across multiple parks, which helps NPS evaluate concession performance, identify service gaps, and inform improvements grounded in visitor feedback.
The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $41,371. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed in a way that suggests the intended award amount is fixed at $41,371 (Award Ceiling: $41,371; Award Floor: $1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the title indicates the University of Idaho is the intended partner, consistent with the non-competitive "intent to award" posture.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The cooperative agreement instrument type signals that NPS likely expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on survey design standards, sampling approaches, data collection protocols, reporting formats, or integration of findings into NPS concession oversight and performance management processes.
For anyone needing the official announcement details, an additional information link is provided through Grants.gov. The contact listed is John Bechtold at the National Park Service (JohnBechtold@nps.gov), with a note indicating he can assist if there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically. The key practical takeaway is that this is a correction notice tied to completing year one of an ongoing, multi-year visitor satisfaction survey effort, and it is not an opportunity for new applicants because no applications will be accepted.
