Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Climate Monitoring and Reporting" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00032) to support the production of annual weather and climate reports for specific national parks in two Inventory and Monitoring networks. The work focuses on nine parks in the Eastern Rivers and Mountains Network (ERMN) and ten parks in the Mid Atlantic Network (MIDN). The core purpose is straightforward: compile, analyze, and report on weather and climate conditions each year so park managers and scientists have consistent, park-relevant climate information that can be used for long-term resource stewardship, planning, and tracking trends.
This notice was posted on February 26, 2014, with a closing date of March 10, 2014, and an estimated total funding amount of $54,147. Although it appears in the grants listing format, the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice of the NPS intent to fund the project without full and open competition. In practice, that means NPS had already identified a partner and was fulfilling the requirement to publicly document that it planned to make the award on a non-competitive basis.
The anticipated award count is one cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on report scope, data sources, analytical approaches, review cycles, formatting standards, or dissemination plans, rather than simply issuing a grant and receiving a final product at the end. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, lowering barriers for the recipient institution and keeping the budget focused on the reporting work itself. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, which usually reflects that a specific, fixed range was not published in that field even though an estimated total funding level was provided.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the research, monitoring, and reporting nature of the work and the cooperative research and training emphasis of the associated CFDA listing (15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The funding activity category is Environment, consistent with climate monitoring and environmental reporting deliverables intended to support national park resource management.
