Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Develop Grazing Guidelines for the Ash Mountain Pasture in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks." This notice is meant to publicly announce NPS's plan to fund specific project work without using full and open competition, rather than inviting new proposals from the public. In other words, it is not a request for applications and there is no open submission period tied to this announcement.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00351 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The work falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The NPS anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $32,000. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in records like this when a specific competitive range is not being established because the agency is not soliciting applications.
The intended recipient is the University of California, Berkeley, acting under the California Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. The notice references Task Agreement #P15AC01667 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676). This structure indicates the funding is being issued as a task agreement under a broader, pre-existing cooperative agreement framework, which is often used by NPS to carry out research, technical assistance, and applied management projects with established partners. Eligible applicants are identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with UC Berkeley's status and the CESU partnership model.
The timeline information reinforces that the announcement is informational rather than competitive. The posted date and creation date are both September 1, 2015, and the archive date is September 10, 2015. Both the original and current closing dates explicitly state that this is not a request for submission, reflecting that the public is not being invited to apply.
For anyone needing more details or having trouble accessing the full announcement through Grants.gov, the notice provides a point of contact: Justine Bersonda at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 415-623-2252 or by email at JustineBersonda@nps.gov.
