Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice of intent (NOI) to make a single cooperative agreement award for a research project titled "Evaluate Changes in Spruce Fir Forests to Identify Impacts of Exotic Insect and Climate Change." The work is framed within natural resource management needs and is intended to improve understanding of how high-elevation spruce-fir forests are changing over time, with a particular focus on teasing apart the effects of an exotic insect threat alongside broader climate-driven stressors. The project is organized as a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Task Agreement, which typically supports applied, place-based research that can directly inform management decisions on public lands.
The NPS indicates it expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. There is no stated award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The project period listed runs from 06/01/2010 through 12/30/2011, making it a time-bounded, new award designed to produce results within roughly a year and a half. The funding opportunity was posted on June 1, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2010, and an archive date of July 11, 2010.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. However, the notice makes clear that this is not a broadly competed grant. Instead, NPS has already identified the intended recipient: the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The agency states that a single-source award determination has been made due to the university's unique capabilities for this specific work, particularly through the expertise of the named principal investigator, Dr. Jennifer Franklin. The justification highlighted is Dr. Franklin's specialized background in high-elevation forest ecology and tree physiology, which aligns with the scientific demands of evaluating forest condition and attributing observed changes to insect impacts and climate-related factors.
Administratively, the task agreement is issued under the authority of 16 USC 5933, and the opportunity lists CFDA number 00.000 (not elsewhere classified) as applicable to the action. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies active involvement by the federal agency during the project (for example, coordination on study design, data needs, field access, or integration of findings into park management). For practical questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Judith Couch, Financial Agreements Specialist, at (865) 436-1224.
