Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Bird Monitoring in the Southern Plains, Sonoran Desert, and Chihuahuan Desert Networks 2012-2013" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR2122120001) is a discretionary natural resources initiative intended to support bird monitoring work across three NPS Inventory and Monitoring networks: the Southern Plains, the Sonoran Desert, and the Chihuahuan Desert. The announcement was posted on February 15, 2012, with a closing date of February 21, 2012, and it was later archived on March 22, 2012. Although it appears in the format of a funding opportunity listing, it is explicitly not a request for applications and is not designed as an open competition.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, with an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) and an estimated total funding amount of $117,999. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing provides an associated CFDA program reference of 15.945, which relates to Cooperative Research and Training Programs supporting resources of the National Park System. The announcement does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which typically indicates that the funding level and final terms would be set within the resulting task agreement rather than governed by a standard competitive range.
A key element of the notice is that it is a "notice of intent" to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The justification for noncompetitive issuance is cited as being consistent with the Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, this means NPS had already identified the intended recipient and was publishing the notice to document the planned award approach rather than to solicit proposals from multiple applicants.
Eligibility is therefore limited in effect to the named organization: the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. While the general eligibility field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility clarification states directly that the announcement is not a request for applications and that it is a single-source award to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. As a result, other institutions, nonprofits, universities, or agencies would not be able to apply under this particular posting, since it functions as a public notice of an intended cooperative agreement rather than an open grant competition.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891, with the note that he can assist if there are difficulties accessing the announcement electronically.
