Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Developing Quantitative Relationships in Wetland Hydrology and Vegetation Community Composition Application to Long Term Monitoring and Assessment of Wetland Integrity" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources research, specifically aimed at improving how wetlands are monitored and evaluated over time. The core intent is to develop measurable, quantitative links between wetland hydrology (how water moves through and is stored in a wetland, including timing, duration, and depth of inundation or saturation) and vegetation community composition (which plant communities are present, how they change, and what those changes indicate about wetland condition). By strengthening the science that ties water conditions to plant community responses, the project is meant to support long-term monitoring programs and produce better tools for assessing wetland integrity in a way that is consistent, repeatable, and useful for management decisions in national parks.
Administratively, this is not an open competition and not a standard call for proposals. It is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive award under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) and will be implemented through a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project, such as collaboration on study design, data needs, or integration of results into NPS monitoring frameworks. Only one award is expected.
The announcement explicitly states that it is a single-source action to Colorado State University, meaning other organizations are not being solicited for applications. The "Eligible Applicants" field is listed broadly as "Others," but the eligibility note clarifies that this particular announcement is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is Colorado State University. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The total estimated funding amount for the award is $33,045, and both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which generally reflects that the specific amount is defined by the task agreement rather than by a competitive range in the public notice.
Key dates show how narrow and administrative this posting is: it was posted and created on June 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2011, and an archive date of July 27, 2011. The rapid close is consistent with noncompetitive notices, where the purpose of posting is often to document intent and satisfy internal or public notice requirements rather than to collect proposals from multiple applicants. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with NPS research and collaboration activities.
For anyone seeking additional details beyond the public synopsis, the notice indicates that more information is contained in an attached announcement.
