Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Wayside Exhibit and Interpretive Brochures Design at Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site and Bent s New Fort" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action intended to support interpretive media design work at two NPS-managed sites in Colorado. The project focus is on developing wayside exhibits (on-site interpretive panels) and interpretive brochures that help visitors understand the historical and cultural significance of Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site and Bent s New Fort. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, which in NPS grant systems often covers interpretive and resource-related projects that support public understanding and stewardship of park resources.
This notice is not a traditional competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive (single-source) cooperative agreement award issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the authority for making a noncompetitive award. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was publicly documenting its plan to fund the work through a CESU task agreement rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
The opportunity specifies that there is expected to be one award and that the sole eligible and intended recipient is Northern Arizona University (University of Northern Arizona University, as written in the listing). Because it is a CESU task agreement, the work would be carried out in collaboration with the NPS, consistent with how cooperative agreements typically function: the federal agency remains substantially involved in the project, providing coordination, review, and guidance as the deliverables are developed.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount is listed as 50,036. The posting does not identify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which commonly appears in records where the amount is handled through the task agreement structure rather than a competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1310120003 and CFDA numbers 15.945, which correspond to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. The opportunity was posted on December 16, 2011, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of December 21, 2011. It was archived on January 20, 2012. Because this was not a request for applications, those dates function more as public notice timelines than a window for submitting competing proposals.
