Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Enhanced Monitoring for Improved Management and Restoration Decision Making in the Wetland Camas Prairies of the Upper Columbia Basin Network" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding, issued by the United States Department of the Interior. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the general public or opening a competitive application process. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to provide public notice that the NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing cooperative partnership mechanism, without full and open competition.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, reflecting a relationship where NPS involvement is expected to be more substantial than in a standard grant and may include collaboration, coordination, or technical participation during the project. The work falls under the Environment and Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The project is connected to the Upper Columbia Basin Network and focuses on wetland camas prairie ecosystems, with the stated aim of enhancing monitoring to improve management decisions and guide restoration actions. In practical terms, this kind of effort typically supports better on-the-ground decision making by improving data quality, consistency, and coverage for priority habitats, allowing managers to track conditions, detect change, and evaluate whether restoration strategies are working.
Funding is set at a total of $47,052, and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $47,052, indicating a single, fixed award amount rather than a range. The agency anticipates making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a specific non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The intended recipient is Oregon State University, identified as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The notice references Task Agreement number P13AC00860 under an existing Cooperative Agreement, H8W07110001, which is the mechanism the NPS is using to support the work. While the eligible applicant category is listed generally as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the posting clarifies that this particular funding action is directed to a specific institution under a pre-established cooperative framework.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on July 29, 2013, and archived on August 2, 2013. Both the original and current closing dates reiterate that there is no application window because the announcement is informational rather than competitive.
For additional details, the posting points to Grants.gov (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00139). The contact for access issues or questions about the announcement is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, reachable at 415-623-2251 or lilettebaltodano@nps.gov.
