Development of Smart Phone Applications Focused on NPS Pacific Island Resources | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Development of Smart Phone Applications Focused on NPS Pacific Island Resources" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00259) was issued by the National Park Service under the category of discretionary funding, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It falls within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to National Park System resources. The overall goal is to support the development of smartphone applications for both iOS and Android platforms, with an emphasis on National Park Service resources in the Pacific Islands.

The project described is centered on creating an initial app that delivers a virtual landbird monitoring experience set specifically in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Haleakala National Park. In practical terms, the app is intended to simulate or teach aspects of landbird monitoring in these park environments, likely functioning as an interpretive, educational, and/or training-oriented digital experience that helps users understand the monitoring process, the setting, and the ecological context of these two Hawaiian parks. The focus on a "virtual" experience suggests an interactive tool that could replicate field monitoring scenarios, allowing users to engage with park-based resource management themes through their phones.

In terms of funding and award structure, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $32,746. There was no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as zero), and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. While the eligibility field lists public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the announcement makes it clear that this particular posting was not an open request for applications. Instead, it was explicitly designated as a single-source award to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences, meaning the agency had already selected the recipient and was publishing the notice for administrative and transparency purposes rather than soliciting competitive proposals.

Key dates show the posting date as September 12, 2013, with creation on September 13, 2013, and an original and current closing date of September 13, 2013. The same note appears with the closing date: it was not a request for applications and was intended as a single-source award to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences. Anyone seeking additional details was directed to the Grants.gov listing, and the point of contact provided was Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
