Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Building Habitat and Capacity in Rare and Endangered Native Hawaiian Plant Populations in a Changing Climate" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is important to understand that this announcement is not a call for proposals and not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS intends to move forward with a specific award to a pre-identified partner without full and open competition.

The funding is being issued as a cooperative agreement under Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00226, within the broader activity area of environment and natural resources. The project is organized as Task Agreement #P13AC01259 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8080090008) with the University of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii is participating in its role as a partner within the Hawaii Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, a framework that supports collaboration between federal agencies and research institutions on conservation and ecosystem management priorities. In practical terms, this means NPS is leveraging an established partnership mechanism to carry out work tied to conservation of rare and endangered native Hawaiian plants, especially in the context of climate-related pressures.

The announcement indicates there is expected to be a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $163,000. The posted and created date for the notice is August 23, 2013, and it was archived shortly thereafter on August 26, 2013. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Although the eligibility field lists public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the nature of this notice makes clear the intended recipient is the University of Hawaii through the specified cooperative framework, rather than an open competition among eligible entities.

The CFDA program reference included is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. This aligns with the overall purpose implied by the project title: strengthening habitat conditions and building the practical capacity (such as research capability, propagation expertise, restoration planning, monitoring, or related workforce and infrastructure) needed to support rare and endangered native Hawaiian plant populations as climate conditions shift. While the announcement does not provide a detailed scope of work in the text provided, the emphasis on "building habitat" and "capacity" suggests applied conservation actions paired with research, training, and implementation support, carried out in close coordination with NPS goals and park resource management needs.
