Opportunity Summary:
The Benthic Macro Invertebrate Inventory grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agencys intent to make a single, specific award rather than inviting the public to apply. Issued by the United States Department of the Interior, this announcement functions as a formal public notification that the NPS plans to fund a defined set of project activities without full and open competition. In other words, it is not a competitive funding call and it is not requesting proposals from other organizations.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources activity area. The work will be carried out through Task Agreement #P12AC30024 (R5130120001) under an existing Cooperative Agreement #H5000095041 with Appalachian State University. Appalachian State University is identified as a university partner under the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a partnership framework often used by federal agencies to collaborate with academic institutions on research, inventory, monitoring, and technical projects.
The purpose of the project is to conduct and document a benthic macroinvertebrate survey in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. Benthic macroinvertebrates are aquatic organisms without backbones that live on or near the bottom of streams and rivers (such as insect larvae, snails, and crustaceans). Because many of these organisms respond predictably to changes in water quality, habitat condition, and pollution, an inventory of benthic macroinvertebrates is widely used as an indicator of aquatic ecosystem health. The project, as described, emphasizes both the field survey component and the documentation of results, supporting park resource management and baseline understanding of aquatic conditions.
Funding details are tightly defined. The NPS expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,971. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $30,971, indicating the funding amount is fixed for this intended recipient and scope. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System.
Eligibility, as listed in the notice, is limited to public and state controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the intended award to Appalachian State University. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on Nov 17, 2011, with an original and current closing date of Nov 21, 2011, and an archive date of Nov 22, 2011. These dates reflect the short public notice window typical of noncompetitive intent-to-award postings rather than an application period.
