Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent titled "Lake Trout Population Modeling and Annual Assessment of Suppression Netting on Yellowstone Lake" is a Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding opportunity intended to support applied natural resource research tied directly to management needs in Yellowstone National Park. The central purpose is to generate new scientific knowledge through lake trout population modeling and to evaluate, on an annual basis, how effective suppression netting is at reducing lake trout numbers in Yellowstone Lake. Beyond producing technical findings, the project is framed as a way to improve public understanding of park resources and ecological conservation, with an expectation that results will be disseminated so that researchers, managers, and the broader scientific community benefit from the data and conclusions.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which signals substantial National Park Service involvement in both planning and execution. NPS staff are expected to work closely with the recipient to describe the goals, jointly develop the project scope, and shape the activities to be completed. The notice emphasizes that this collaboration must go beyond normal federal stewardship responsibilities, with NPS providing meaningful, hands-on support. Examples of that involvement include helping select projects or tasks, orienting recipients to park resources and operational constraints, overseeing assignments, teaching new skills where needed, distributing tools and equipment, and providing technical assistance and safety training. In practice, applicants should expect regular coordination with NPS personnel and an approach where the park is an active partner rather than simply a funder.
Funding details indicate a single anticipated award with an award ceiling of $183,300. The opportunity was posted and created on June 15, 2016, with an application closing date of June 24, 2016. The funding instrument is identified under the Natural Resources activity category, and the relevant CFDA number is 15.945. Eligibility is open to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with other eligible entities as clarified in the full eligibility text referenced by the notice.
Overall, the opportunity supports research that directly informs fisheries management and invasive or non-native species suppression strategies in Yellowstone Lake, while also producing defensible modeling and assessment outputs that can be shared with external researchers and used to communicate conservation actions and outcomes to the public. The cooperative agreement structure is a key feature of this notice, as it explicitly requires close collaboration and substantial technical involvement from NPS throughout the project lifecycle.
