Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Develop Yampa River Flow Prescription and Long Term Research and Monitoring Recommendations for Protection of Native Fish Resources" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resource management, specifically the protection of native fish in the Yampa River system. The core purpose is to support work that will develop a scientifically grounded flow prescription for the Yampa River and produce recommendations for long-term research and monitoring that can help safeguard native fish resources over time. In practical terms, this kind of project typically involves evaluating how different river flow conditions affect habitat quality, spawning and recruitment, seasonal movement, and overall population health of native fish, then translating those findings into flow targets or guidance that managers can use.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on technical direction, data needs, coordination with park or regional resource managers, and review of products. The notice makes clear this is not a competitive grant solicitation; it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source task agreement award. The noncompetitive nature is explicitly tied to Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which covers circumstances under which single-source or otherwise noncompetitive awards may be appropriate.
Eligibility is limited because the announcement is not requesting applications from the broader public. Instead, it specifies a single recipient: Colorado State University. The listing notes that eligible applicants are categorized as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility text field, but the key point is that the NPS is proceeding with a single-source award to CSU rather than opening a competition among multiple institutions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity number is NPS NOIR140N4143 and it falls under CFDA 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System." The posting date and creation date are both June 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2012, and an archive date of August 1, 2012. The very short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for a predetermined, noncompetitive award rather than an open call. The estimated total funding amount is $58,540. No cost sharing or matching is required, and while the listing includes award ceiling and floor fields, both are shown as 0, which commonly indicates that those fields were not used to define bounds for this particular posting.
Only one award is expected. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
