Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Creating Climate Change Adaptation Strategies for Park Natural Resources Using Enduring Features" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00251) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on natural resource stewardship, specifically aimed at helping parks in and around the National Capital Region (NCR) plan for and respond to climate change impacts. The core purpose of the project is to combine two types of analytical approaches: (1) site resiliency analyses, which identify landscape characteristics and "enduring features" that tend to support ecological persistence over time, and (2) climate exposure metrics, which describe how climate conditions are expected to change across the region. By integrating these datasets and methods, the project is intended to evaluate how climate change may affect species and ecological systems that are considered high priority for conservation within NCR park units. In practical terms, the work supports adaptation planning by identifying areas and resources likely to be more resilient, areas likely to face higher climate stress, and the resulting implications for management decisions.
This opportunity was posted on July 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2015, and it falls under the discretionary funding category with the funding instrument type listed as a cooperative agreement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with it is 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The listing states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling, floor, and estimated total funding are all shown as 0, which typically indicates that the notice is not being used to compete funds openly or that final funding details are handled outside the standard competitive announcement format.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that NPS intended to fund the project without full and open competition, specifically directing the work to NatureServe. The eligible applicant type shown is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), consistent with NatureServe's nonprofit status. In other words, this posting is essentially an announcement of a planned, non-competitive cooperative agreement rather than an invitation for multiple organizations to apply.
For reference and administrative details, the opportunity includes an additional information link to Grants.gov and provides a contact for access issues or questions about the announcement: Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 301-663-1481 EXT 5 or via email at RitaMihalik@nps.gov.
