Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "A Survey of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates at Kings Mountain National Military Park (CESU)" is a National Park Service discretionary grant issued as a cooperative agreement to support a targeted scientific field study. The project goal is straightforward: provide professional expertise to carry out field-based research that surveys aquatic macroinvertebrates within Kings Mountain National Military Park. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves sampling streams, seeps, or other aquatic habitats to document the presence, diversity, and distribution of macroinvertebrate communities, which are often used as indicators of water quality and ecosystem condition.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number AJ5500090026 and falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The announcement was posted on October 23, 2009, created on October 20, 2009, and had a very short application window, with both the original and current closing date listed as October 28, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on November 27, 2009, indicating it is no longer open.
The National Park Service anticipated making a single award, with total estimated funding of $24,873. The award ceiling and floor are both $24,873, which signals a fixed, project-specific budget rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to private institutions of higher education, and the title includes "CESU," referring to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units framework, which commonly supports partnerships between federal land management agencies and academic institutions to conduct applied research and technical assistance. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the project would typically involve substantial federal involvement during performance, such as coordination on study design, site access, data standards, deliverables, or reporting expectations.
For applicants needing assistance with accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
