Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding opportunity titled "Assessment of Natural Resources Condition for Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Historical Park" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 12NERO MABI 0059). The purpose is to support an environmental and natural resources project focused on evaluating the condition of natural resources at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (often abbreviated as MABI). The announcement is categorized as discretionary funding and will be carried out through a cooperative agreement, indicating the NPS expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply issuing a standalone grant.
A key point of the announcement is that it is a "Notice of Intent to Award" and explicitly "not a request for applications." In practical terms, that means the NPS is not seeking proposals from the public and is instead providing transparency that it plans to enter into an agreement without full and open competition. The planned award is tied to Task Agreement P12AC10767 under Cooperative Agreement H4503090700, with the identified cooperator being the State University of New York's College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Only one award is expected.
The total anticipated funding amount is $40,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $40,000, which implies a single fixed-size award rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.945, labeled "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which aligns with research and assessment activities benefiting national park resources.
Although the notice lists eligible applicants generally as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the content makes clear the NPS has already identified the intended partner institution for this specific project. The posting date and creation date are June 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 4, 2012, and an archive date of July 5, 2012. The short timeline reinforces that this posting functions as a formal public notice rather than an open competitive solicitation.
For additional details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section. If someone cannot access the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056, with the note "CESU Natural Resources at MABI," indicating the agreement is likely managed within a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) framework or related NPS cooperative research structure.
