Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00480
This funding notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open call for proposals and no applications are being accepted. Instead, it serves as a public statement that the NPS plans to issue a single, non-competitive financial assistance award for a specific project that has already been identified. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and will be made using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, providing guidance, coordination, data standards, or review of deliverables).
The project is titled "Enable Public and Research Access to the Peter Misch Geology Collection through Cataloging and Interpretive Products." In practical terms, the work centers on improving access to a specific geology collection associated with Peter Misch by organizing and documenting the materials and producing products that help people understand and use the collection. "Cataloging" generally implies creating or upgrading inventory records and metadata so items can be discovered and retrieved more easily by researchers, staff, and the public. "Interpretive products" usually refers to educational or explanatory materials that translate collection content into more accessible formats, such as summaries, guides, exhibits, finding aids, or other interpretive resources that add context and make the collection more usable beyond a specialist audience.
The award is planned under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, with Cooperative Agreement number P17AC01050, and the intended recipient is the University of Washington. CESU partnerships are commonly used by federal land-management and science agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and public-benefit projects, particularly those related to natural and cultural resources. The activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting the geology focus of the collection and the broader resource stewardship mission of NPS.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number P17AS00480 and a CFDA number of 15.945. The eligible applicant type listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," aligning with the identified partner, the University of Washington. The notice indicates an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $33,484, which is the maximum amount anticipated for this single cooperative agreement action. The opportunity record shows a creation date of July 7, 2017, and it explicitly notes there is no closing date because it is not soliciting applications.
Overall, this announcement is essentially a transparency and compliance posting: NPS is informing the public that it intends to fund a specific university partner, without competition, to carry out defined work that will improve cataloging, accessibility, and interpretive understanding of the Peter Misch Geology Collection so it can be more readily used for both research and public education.Apply for P17AS00480
