Opportunity Summary:
The Utah Geological Survey Collaboration on Geologic Hazards, Paleontology, and Abandoned Mine Lands Project (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00076) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The project is focused on formal collaboration between the NPS and the State of Utah (specifically the Utah Geological Survey) to support Earth-science related work in National Park System units located in Utah. The overarching purpose is to advance conservation, protection, public outreach, and education by improving understanding of geologic resources and issues that affect park lands and visitors.
The scope of work described centers on joint efforts in research, inventory and monitoring, and resource assessments connected to geologic hazards, paleontology, and abandoned mine lands. In practical terms, this can include documenting and evaluating geologic risks (such as landslides, rockfall, erosion, or other hazard processes relevant to park operations and visitor safety), identifying and assessing paleontological resources (including fossil localities and their significance), and addressing legacy impacts from abandoned mines (such as physical safety hazards, contamination concerns, or site condition documentation). Alongside technical work, the opportunity emphasizes public education and outreach, aiming to translate Earth science information into accessible materials and programs that help the public understand why geology matters in parks and how it connects to resource stewardship.
A major theme throughout the announcement is public purpose: stimulating education, encouraging productive community involvement, and strengthening public understanding and appreciation of NPS resources in Utah. The collaboration is framed not only as a technical partnership, but also as a way to increase public awareness of the relevance of Earth sciences in everyday life and in the management of public lands. This implies deliverables that may include interpretive content, educational products, public-facing presentations, and other outreach tools that connect visitors and communities with the science behind the landscapes and resources they value.
Administratively, the announcement indicates an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) and identifies eligibility as limited to state governments, aligning with the intended Utah Geological Survey partnership. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The posting and creation dates are May 30, 2013, with an archive date of July 1, 2013, indicating this was a time-limited notice. Importantly, it is labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, and it explicitly states that no applications will be accepted, meaning this was not an open competitive solicitation; it functioned as a public notice that the NPS intended to make an award to the eligible state partner.
For additional details, the listing points to Grants.gov and provides an NPS contact for assistance accessing the full announcement: John Bechtold (303-969-2492, JohnBechtold@nps.gov). The essential takeaway is that this opportunity formalized a cooperative NPS-Utah effort to strengthen geologic hazard understanding, paleontological resource work, and abandoned mine land assessments in Utah parks, while also prioritizing education and outreach that helps the public better understand and appreciate Earth science within the national parks.
