Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Application Development for Biodiversity Modeling Service of Great Smoky Mountains National Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding through the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is important to read this announcement as a public notification rather than an open call for proposals, because it explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. In other words, the NPS is not seeking competing submissions from the broader public; it is announcing its plan to make an award without full and open competition.
This award is being issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is structured as a partnership where the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work being performed. The funding instrument and activity focus are tied to "Information and Statistics," which aligns with the project theme: application development in support of a biodiversity modeling service for Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The project is associated with Cooperative Agreement P14AC00882 and is intended to be carried out with the University of Tennessee. The University of Tennessee is identified as a partner under the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a framework NPS and other federal partners commonly use to collaborate with academic institutions on research, technical development, and applied conservation projects.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00169) anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $56,400. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award. While the eligibility field notes "Private institutions of higher education," the narrative description makes clear that the intent is a sole-source type action directed to a specific partner (the University of Tennessee) rather than a competitive selection among eligible institutions.
Key dates included a posted and created date of July 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2014, and an archive date of August 29, 2014. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which sometimes appears in notices of intent or administrative postings where the formal competitive range is not being used, even though an estimated total funding amount is provided elsewhere in the record.
The program is connected to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing difficulties retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Brian Straka at the National Park Service, with the provided phone number (865-436-1217) and email address (brianstraka@nps.gov).
