Opportunity Summary:
The CESU National Office Fellowships opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support the placement of graduate student fellows within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network national office. The core purpose is to strengthen the CESU national office capacity that serves NPS programs nationwide, especially in areas tied to natural and cultural resource research, technical assistance, and capacity building, while also supporting related work that benefits other allied federal agencies and agency programs connected to CESU activities. In practical terms, the grant is framed around bringing graduate-level talent into the national office to contribute to these mission-focused functions.
This funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial federal involvement or collaboration rather than operating purely as a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is natural resources, and the total estimated funding amount is $35,838, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The opportunity anticipates making one award, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award.
A key feature of this notice is that it is not an open competition. The NPS states it is issuing a notice of intent for a non-competitive award, to be executed as a task agreement issued under an existing CESU cooperative agreement (H2370094000). The intended recipient is the University of Montana, and the decision to proceed non-competitively is explicitly tied to Department of the Interior policy guidance (Department Manual 505 DM 2). Eligibility is listed broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but the notice makes clear that this specific action is planned as a directed award under an established CESU mechanism rather than a competitive solicitation.
Administrative details show the funding opportunity number as NPS NOIWASOJ2301100201, with the opportunity posted and created on August 11, 2010. The original and current closing date is August 14, 2010, reflecting a very short posting window typical of notices of intent for directed or non-competitive actions. The archive date is September 13, 2010. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
