Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Watershed Studies opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI NERO R4531120579) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity area. Rather than being an open, competitive grant solicitation, it is published as a formal notice of intent indicating the government plans to make a single award through the National Park Service Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CW CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive, single-source approach.
In practical terms, this posting is not inviting applications from the public. The eligibility section makes that explicit by stating it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended as a single-source action to the University of Virginia. Although the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others," the accompanying eligibility note clarifies that only the identified recipient is expected to receive the award under this notice. The opportunity anticipates one award in total.
The estimated total funding amount is $50,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The published award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which is a common way older postings sometimes display when the agency does not specify a competitive range and instead provides the expected total amount separately. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, reflecting a research and applied science focus tied to National Park Service resource management priorities, in this case related to watershed studies connected to the Chesapeake watershed context and CESU cooperative research mechanisms.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2012, and an archive date of July 29, 2012. Because it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, the short window is best understood as an administrative posting period rather than a meaningful application deadline for outside organizations.
For anyone needing the full announcement text or having trouble accessing it electronically, the listed point of contact is Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov.
