Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary cooperative agreement notice of intent focused on vegetation mapping for Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area (BICA), which sits within the Greater Yellowstone Inventory and Monitoring Network. The project area is defined by BICA's administrative boundary around the Bighorn River corridor and the Yellowtail Reservoir area formed by Yellowtail Dam. In scope, the administrative boundary covers about 55,600 land acres (22,500 hectares) and follows roughly 70 miles (113 km) of the Bighorn River. Land ownership inside the legislatively approved boundary is shared among the NPS, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Crow Nation, with the managed area boundary specifically excluding the portions that overlap Crow Nation lands.
The work centers on building a defensible vegetation classification and map for the park unit. The notice explains that an initial, preliminary vegetation classification has identified 86 vegetation types at BICA. To support a quantitative classification process, the project plans to collect a minimum of three vegetation plots per type, which totals 258 plots. Beyond plot sampling, the mapping effort will be reinforced with field information from approximately 150 to 200 additional observation points. Together, the plots and observation points are intended to provide the on-the-ground data needed to confirm vegetation types, improve map accuracy, and support final vegetation products used for resource management and monitoring.
Administratively, the listing indicates the NPS as the issuing agency and frames the award as a cooperative agreement under the natural resources activity category. The opportunity anticipates a single award. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the title reference to Colorado State University and suggests the project is oriented toward an academic partner with technical vegetation science and mapping capacity. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted.
Key funding and timing details included in the announcement are as follows: the estimated total funding is $289,157, with an award ceiling listed at $515,718. The notice was posted on December 9, 2010, created on December 13, 2010, and carried an original and current closing date of December 16, 2010, with an archive date of January 15, 2011. The funding opportunity number is NPS WASO NOI 2340110001, and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (not elsewhere classified). The announcement also notes that project costs are broken out by task and year in tables (referenced as Tables I and II), with further task-by-task details described in the full project narrative.
