Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Collaborative Ungulate Research and Management" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00234). This announcement functions as a public notice that NPS plans to make a cooperative agreement award without full and open competition, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the broader public through this notice; it is announcing its intent to fund a specific partner for a defined set of activities.
The project is centered on continuing a long-term working relationship between NPS and White Buffalo, Inc., a nonprofit organization eligible under the listing as a 501(c)(3) entity (other than institutions of higher education). The collaboration focuses on wildlife management at Point Reyes National Seashore, with an emphasis on ungulates, and is designed to support NPS natural resource stewardship responsibilities. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement in the project, and this aligns with the stated plan for NPS and the partner to work jointly on planning and implementation.
The core purpose of the effort is to conduct wildlife research and monitoring that can directly inform and help achieve NPS resource management goals. This includes on-the-ground field research and monitoring activities, followed by analysis of collected information so that management decisions are evidence-based and aligned with park objectives. Beyond research, the project also includes implementing wildlife management actions in coordination with NPS, meaning the partner is expected not only to study wildlife conditions but also to assist with practical management steps as directed and coordinated by the park.
The notice outlines the types of collaborative work expected between NPS and White Buffalo, Inc., including field research, management actions, data analysis, reporting, and technical consultation. This suggests an end-to-end partnership where the partner participates across the full cycle of work: gathering data in the field, supporting or carrying out management operations, analyzing results, producing written deliverables, and providing expert input to NPS staff. The funding opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, with CFDA number 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), and it anticipates a single award.
Administratively, the notice was posted and created on August 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2013, and an archive date of August 30, 2013. The listing shows an estimated total funding amount of 1 (as displayed in the source text) and indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which often reflects that the specific award amount is not provided in the public synopsis or is handled through internal documentation rather than being competed publicly. For access or questions related to the announcement, the designated contact is Yvonne Morales at NPS (415-464-5221, yvonnemorales@nps.gov).
