Opportunity Summary:
This National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity, titled "Amphibian Monitoring" (Funding Opportunity Number H2120100006), supports a cooperative agreement focused on monitoring amphibian breeding habitats in Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. The central goal is to give park managers an early warning system for changes in amphibian populations and habitat conditions, while also producing clear interpretations of monitoring results that can be shared with the public as information on status and long-term trends.
The work is designed as a close collaboration between NPS staff and a nonprofit cooperator. An NPS staff ecologist is expected to work side-by-side with the cooperator's research associates through all major stages of the project. That includes planning and scheduling field efforts (such as deciding when monitoring begins and the sequence for monitoring different catchments), setting data quality objectives for collecting key covariate information (the additional environmental or contextual measurements used to interpret biological trends), carrying out analysis, and leading the writing and preparation of project reports. In parallel, NPS commits to substantial support roles, including on-the-ground logistics in the parks such as housing for cooperator personnel. NPS also indicates responsibility for ensuring that both the monitoring protocol and resulting reports are peer reviewed and published as an NRR (Natural Resource Report), and for providing statistical analysis and helping translate findings into management-relevant conclusions for park decision-makers. A staff data manager will provide data management support, reflecting that the project is expected to generate structured datasets that must be curated, stored, and made usable for analysis and reporting.
The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $243,126. The listed award ceiling is $243,126 and the award floor is $46,626. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the agency expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 15.615 (Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund).
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting date and creation date are both February 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 18, 2010, and an archive date of March 18, 2010. For access issues or questions tied to the full announcement, the contact listed is Tina Holland, Agreements Specialist, at 307-344-2082 or tinaholland@nps.gov.
