Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Early detection of Invasive Plans" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOICHDN110005), is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under a cooperative agreement. It focuses on natural resource work, specifically supporting early detection efforts for invasive plants within the Chihuahuan Desert and Southern Plains Networks. The basic intent is to strengthen on-the-ground capacity to find and document invasive plant occurrences early, when control is typically more feasible and less costly, helping NPS protect park ecosystems across these network areas.
The notice makes clear that it is primarily informational rather than a typical open solicitation. NPS states it is a Notice of Intent to make an award to the Student Conservation Association (SCA) through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. In other words, this is not a new competitive grant round for the general public; the selection was already made and was "competed in accordance with internal NPS procedures." The listing of "Eligible Applicants: Others" is therefore not an invitation for broad applications, but a reflection that eligibility in this instance is tied to the specific partner identified and the structure of the existing cooperative agreement vehicle.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $29,961. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices where the precise award constraints are not being set in the same way as an open competitive program or where the specific award amount is handled within the task agreement framework. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning the project would involve some form of non-federal contribution, which in cooperative agreements can include partner-provided cash, in-kind services, or other allowable match depending on the terms of the underlying agreement.
Timing details show how narrow the administrative posting window was: the opportunity was posted and created on March 29, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 30, 2011, and an archive date of March 31, 2011. That short timeline aligns with the "notice of intent" nature of the posting, where the agency is documenting an intended award action rather than collecting proposals over an extended application period.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which fits the intended recipient, the Student Conservation Association, and signals that part of the program emphasis is engaging youth or service members in conservation fieldwork. Overall, the notice describes a cooperative, partner-driven project aimed at invasive plant early detection in two NPS network regions, with a single planned award and a modest funding level to support targeted monitoring and related field activities.
