Evaluate new Predator Proof Fence Design to Protect Hawaiian Petrels | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Evaluate New Predator Proof Fence Design to Protect Hawaiian Petrels." This notice is meant to publicly document NPS's plan to provide funding for specific research and project activities without holding a full and open competitive solicitation. In other words, it is not a call for proposals and it is not seeking applications from the general public; it is essentially an announcement that NPS intends to make a directed award.

The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00099, categorized as a discretionary opportunity in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area. The planned work will be carried out through Task Agreement P13AC00653 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8080090008) with the University of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii is participating as a partner in the Hawaii Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a network designed to support collaboration among federal agencies, universities, and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education that benefit public lands and natural resources.

The project focus, as stated in the title, is to evaluate a new predator-proof fence design intended to protect Hawaiian petrels. Predator-proof fencing is commonly used in conservation settings to reduce or eliminate access by invasive or introduced predators that can prey on vulnerable native wildlife, particularly ground-nesting seabirds. Hawaiian petrels are a sensitive species in Hawaii, and reducing predation pressure at nesting or breeding areas can be a key part of recovery and long-term population protection. The notice does not provide detailed methods or deliverables in the excerpted text, but the stated purpose is evaluation of a fence design, implying applied research or field testing aimed at determining effectiveness for protecting the species in real-world conditions.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $121,002 and anticipates a single award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the listing, which often occurs in notices that are not true competitive opportunities and are being posted mainly for transparency rather than to define an application range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The eligible applicant type is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the intended recipient being the University of Hawaii.

Key dates in the listing show a posted date and creation date of June 20, 2013, with an archive date of June 24, 2013. Both the original and current closing dates are explicitly stated as "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that the posting is informational and not an open competition. The CFDA program reference is 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with NPS-supported research partnerships that inform management and conservation outcomes in national park units and related resource stewardship contexts.

For additional details or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Lilette Baltodano at NPS, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251 or by email at lilettebaltodano@nps.gov. The notice also references Grants.gov as the public listing location, with an additional information link provided in the original posting.
