Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOIP15AC01753
The "UWNPS Research Center Support, 2015-2016" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01753) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work and support activities conducted through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, tying the action to an established federal assistance program area.
This posting is explicitly a notice of intent rather than a standard competitive grant solicitation. In practical terms, that means it is not asking the public, universities, nonprofits, or other entities to submit proposals. Instead, it announces the government s intention to make a single award, and it states that the award will be made noncompetitively under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The notice also references that the resulting award will be issued as a task agreement under the CESU framework, which is commonly used by the NPS and other DOI bureaus to efficiently partner with specific institutions for research and technical support aligned with park and regional management needs.
The eligible applicant field is effectively narrowed by the single source language: the intended recipient is the University of Wyoming. While the listing may show a general eligibility category such as "Others," the text makes clear that this is a directed, single institution action and not an open competition. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with that approach. The posting includes an original closing date of 2015 09 13, but because it is not a request for applications, that date functions more like an administrative marker for the notice rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.
Financially, the award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually means the public synopsis does not specify a maximum amount in the announcement record, not necessarily that the award has no value. The detailed scope, funding level, tasks, and deliverables would typically be spelled out in the attached announcement or within the task agreement documentation itself, rather than in the brief public notice.
In summary, this opportunity is best understood as a public transparency notice that the National Park Service planned to issue one noncompetitive cooperative agreement task agreement through the Rocky Mountain CESU to support the University of Wyoming NPS Research Center for the 2015 2016 period, with the work aligned to natural resources and cooperative research or technical support priorities, and with no application process open to outside parties.Apply for NPS NOIP15AC01753
