Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development and Application of Guidance on Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment" is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) funding action focused on strengthening how the agency evaluates and plans for climate-related risks to natural resources. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve substantial involvement and collaboration between the NPS and the recipient rather than operating as a hands-off grant. The project sits within the Natural Resources funding activity area and is being managed through the NPS Natural Resources Planning Center.
The purpose of the agreement is to develop and apply practical guidance for climate change vulnerability assessment and adaptation planning. In concrete terms, this involves creating methods, frameworks, and recommendations that park and resource managers can use to assess how climate change may affect species, habitats, and ecosystems, and then translate those findings into adaptation strategies. The emphasis on species, habitats, and ecosystems signals that the guidance is intended to work across multiple biological scales, from individual at-risk species to broader landscape or ecosystem-level processes and conditions. The deliverables are implied to be guidance-oriented products, such as assessment protocols, planning templates, best practices, and potentially pilot applications that demonstrate how the guidance is used in real management settings.
This opportunity is explicitly described as non-competitive and sole source. The NPS states its intent to award the cooperative agreement directly to the National Wildlife Federation, and it cites Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) as the authority supporting a sole-source approach. Because it is not an open competition, the listing functions mainly as a public notice of intent rather than an invitation for multiple applicants to apply. While the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the stated intent is to make a single award to the National Wildlife Federation.
Funding is capped at an estimated total of $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $0. The opportunity indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The posting and creation date are July 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2010, and the notice was archived on September 1, 2010. The listing anticipates one award.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is NPS NOIWASOH2370103532, and the cooperative agreement number referenced is H2370103532. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000, "Not Elsewhere Classified," which typically indicates the notice is not tied to a more specific standard assistance listing. For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the contact provided is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist, at 303-987-6988.
