Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Comparing modern and historical high elevation fire regimes at Grand Canyon" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action focused on natural resources research in the Grand Canyon area, specifically examining how fire behavior and patterns in high-elevation environments compare between modern times and historical conditions. The purpose implied by the title is to support work that helps the NPS better understand fire regimes over time, which can inform park management decisions related to wildfire risk, forest and ecosystem restoration, and long-term resource stewardship within the National Park System.
This opportunity is issued as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. Rather than being a typical open competition, it is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the NPS is signaling in advance that it plans to fund a specific project with a specific partner through an established cooperative framework, rather than soliciting proposals from the general public and selecting a recipient through a competitive review process.
The award is being made through the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative network used to facilitate research, technical assistance, and education partnerships that support DOI and NPS science and resource management needs. The announcement indicates the action will result in a task agreement under the CESU, which is typically a project-specific agreement issued under the broader CESU cooperative agreement structure to carry out defined work.
The posting details show this is a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $98,400. The listing provides no award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which often indicates that the dollar amount is established in the agreement rather than bounded by a standard competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is not broadly open because the announcement states it is not a request for applications. It is identified as a single-source award to Northern Arizona University, meaning NAU is the intended recipient and other organizations are not being invited to apply. The CFDA listing includes 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research and applied science support for national park resource priorities.
Key dates in the notice are February 14, 2012 for posting/creation, with an original and current closing date of February 21, 2012, and an archive date of March 22, 2012. Since it is not a competitive solicitation, the closing date functions more as an administrative posting window for public notice rather than a deadline for proposal submissions.
