Opportunity Summary:
The Copper Basin Community Harvest Assessment Phase II opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI PWR P12AC10136) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action in the natural resources area that is being issued specifically as a notice of intent to make an award, not as an open competition. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service is not soliciting proposals from the public or from other organizations; instead, it is notifying stakeholders that it plans to enter into a cooperative agreement with a predetermined partner, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared to a standard grant. The scope is framed around a "community harvest assessment" in the Copper Basin region, and the "Phase II" label suggests this work is intended as a continuation or expansion of an earlier phase of the same effort. While the notice does not provide detailed technical tasks or deliverables in the excerpt provided, the title and activity category point to applied research, monitoring, and/or assessment activities related to natural resource use and community harvest practices, likely designed to inform National Park Service management responsibilities and broader resource stewardship in or near units of the National Park System.
Only one award is expected under this announcement, and eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the stated intent to award to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. 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. The estimated total funding amount is $420,000, with an indicated award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $146,836, which sets the general bounds for the anticipated federal funding level associated with the agreement.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted and created on February 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 20, 2012, and an archive date of March 21, 2012. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent format rather than a competitive application period. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), indicating alignment with National Park Service cooperative research and related support activities.
