Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Colorado State University - Assessment of Aquatic Invasion Species" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS WASO NOI 2380106008), is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to support an information-gathering and assessment effort focused on aquatic invasive species affecting National Park Service (NPS) waters. The work is centered on compiling and improving existing data rather than conducting new field sampling, with the goal of clearly documenting how widespread marine and freshwater invasive species issues are across NPS-managed waters and pinpointing major information gaps that limit effective management.
The core project involves pulling species occurrence records from the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) Database. Under the task agreement, the Project Chief will coordinate retrieval of all available records for nonindigenous aquatic species across every relevant watershed identified by 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs). The target watersheds are those that contain national parks known to manage significant fisheries resources, whether freshwater or saltwater. After the database retrieval is completed, the resulting park-specific occurrence lists will be circulated to aquatic specialists within the parks and NPS regions. These experts will review the lists for accuracy and completeness, update them based on local knowledge and additional available sources, and then send corrections and additions back to the USGS database managers so the national database reflects improved NPS-specific information.
The end product is an updated, higher-quality set of occurrence records for invasive aquatic species relevant to NPS waters, along with a summary report that synthesizes what the updated data show. That report is intended to provide a clearer picture of the extent of the problem across parks and watersheds, while also highlighting where data are missing, uncertain, or outdated. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen the information foundation NPS needs for planning, prioritization, and long-term management of aquatic invasive species risks.
Administratively, this was posted June 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2010, and an archive date of July 11, 2010. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type, under the natural resources activity category. The estimated total funding is $45,000, with an award ceiling of $45,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award was expected. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the title referencing Colorado State University. The CFDA listing is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified).

This is a National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity.
What type of announcement is this?
It is a notice of intent to make a single cooperative agreement award.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The purpose is to support an information-gathering and assessment effort focused on aquatic invasive species affecting National Park Service waters by compiling and improving existing information to document how widespread marine and freshwater invasive species issues are across NPS-managed waters and to identify major information gaps.
Does the project involve new field sampling or surveys?
No. The work is centered on compiling and improving existing data rather than conducting new field sampling.
What data source will be used to build the occurrence records?
The core dataset will be pulled from the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS) Database.
What is meant by "species occurrence records" in this project?
In this context, occurrence records are the available records in the USGS NAS Database showing where nonindigenous aquatic species have been recorded in relevant watersheds associated with NPS-managed waters.
How will the project determine which watersheds to include?
The Project Chief will coordinate retrieval of records across every relevant watershed identified by 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs). The target watersheds are those that contain national parks known to manage significant fisheries resources, whether freshwater or saltwater.
What are 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs) and how are they used here?
The project uses 8-digit HUCs as the watershed units for retrieving nonindigenous aquatic species records from the USGS NAS Database for watersheds that contain qualifying national parks.
What happens after records are retrieved from the USGS NAS Database?
After retrieval, park-specific occurrence lists will be circulated to aquatic specialists within the parks and NPS regions for review.
Who will review the park-specific occurrence lists?
Aquatic specialists within the parks and NPS regions will review the lists for accuracy and completeness.
What kinds of changes can reviewers make to the occurrence lists?
Reviewers will update the lists based on local knowledge and additional available sources, and they will provide corrections and additions.
How will corrections and additions be incorporated into national datasets?
Corrections and additions will be sent back to the USGS database managers so the USGS NAS Database reflects improved NPS-specific information.
What are the expected deliverables or end products?
The end products are (1) an updated, higher-quality set of occurrence records for invasive aquatic species relevant to NPS waters and (2) a summary report that synthesizes what the updated data show.
What will the summary report cover?
