Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS) issued a Notice of Intent for a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Colorado State University - Water Rights Activity Assessment" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI WASO 2380115502). The purpose of the agreement is to support project work connected to natural resources management, with a particular emphasis on water rights-related activities and broader water resource issues affecting ecosystems. A central goal is experiential learning: the project is designed to give students practical, career-relevant experience by involving them directly in research and support tasks tied to real management needs.

The work described focuses on project support activities that may include research, technical assistance, and work related to management policies. In practical terms, this means the student participants would likely help gather and analyze information, assist with technical or administrative aspects of water resource and ecosystem protection efforts, and contribute to the development or evaluation of management approaches related to water resources. The opportunity highlights protection of ecosystems and water resources, indicating that the expected activities sit at the intersection of environmental stewardship, applied research, and public land or resource management.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources. The announcement anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $14,700, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The award floor is $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the project goal of engaging students in hands-on natural resources management work. The posting and creation date for the notice was December 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 20, 2010. The opportunity was archived on January 19, 2011. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which suggests it was not tied to a standard CFDA program listing at the time of publication.

For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kortni Selinger, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-987-6734 or by email at kortniselinger@contractor.nps.gov.
