Opportunity Summary:
The "Channel Islands National Park Landbird Monitoring" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00047) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a single award through a cooperative agreement for natural resource work focused on landbird monitoring at Channel Islands National Park. The notice is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no competitive application process associated with this posting. Instead, it functions as a transparency step to inform the public that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The planned award is tied to an existing relationship: Task Agreement P16AC00222 issued under a master Cooperative Agreement P14AC01635. The named partner for this work is the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology. Although the posting lists an eligible applicant category as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," the practical effect here is that the NPS has already identified the intended recipient and is documenting that intent rather than inviting additional applicants.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $29,004 and anticipates one award in total. The activity category is Natural Resources and the CFDA number provided is 15.944, which is associated with National Park Service natural resource-related assistance. The opportunity was created and posted on February 19, 2016. Both the original and current closing dates are listed as "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that there is no deadline because there is no open competition.
In short, this announcement is best read as a public notice of a planned, non-competitive cooperative agreement action by the NPS to support landbird monitoring work at Channel Islands National Park through an already-established agreement framework with the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology, with a small, defined budget and a single expected award.
