Opportunity Summary:
The "Workshops and Program Support for NPS, Rocky Mountain CESU" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR124212012) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource-related workshops and program assistance conducted through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Rather than functioning as an open competition, this posting serves as a formal notice of intent that NPS plans to issue a task agreement under the CESU framework. The agency explicitly states that it will be a noncompetitive award, made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is typically used to justify awards that are single-source or otherwise not competed when specific criteria are met.
The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project activities (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). The assistance listing connected to this action is CFDA 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, reflecting that the work aligns with research, training, and technical support priorities that benefit national park resources and related management needs. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $33,750. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which often occurs in postings that are informational in nature or where the amount is predetermined within the internal task agreement rather than structured as a competitive range. No cost sharing or matching is required.
Eligibility is not broadly open. The announcement makes clear that this is not a request for applications and is instead a single-source award to the University of Montana. While the general eligibility field references "Others" and points readers to additional eligibility text for clarification, the practical takeaway is that outside entities are not being solicited for proposals because the recipient has already been identified and justified under the noncompetitive authority described. The posting timeline reinforces its notice-of-intent character: it was posted and created on June 7, 2012, with a very short "closing" date of June 12, 2012, and it was archived on July 12, 2012. In these contexts, the closing date typically reflects the period the public notice is displayed rather than an actual proposal submission window.
