Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Evaluate Productivity and Abundance of Selected Salmonid Populations in Olympic National Park" is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the United States Department of the Interior. It is important to read this as an informational posting rather than a competitive funding announcement, because it explicitly states that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is using the notice to publicly document its plan to fund a specific project with a specific partner, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple organizations.

The project focuses on natural resource science in Olympic National Park, specifically evaluating the productivity and abundance of selected salmonid populations. Salmonids generally include salmon, trout, and related species, and work of this kind typically supports park resource stewardship by helping managers understand population status and trends, assess habitat and ecosystem conditions, and inform conservation or restoration decisions. Although the notice does not lay out a full technical scope in the excerpt provided, the title makes clear that the core activities revolve around measuring population abundance and productivity metrics for targeted salmonid stocks within the park.

From an administrative standpoint, the award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which is a federal funding instrument used when the agency expects substantial involvement in the funded work (as opposed to a standard grant where involvement is usually more limited). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the catalog of federal domestic assistance listing associated with the notice includes CFDA 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The posting indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is a single, targeted award rather than an open competition.

The notice identifies the intended recipient as the University of Washington through a specific mechanism: Task Agreement P14AC01774 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001). The University of Washington is referenced as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a cooperative research framework often used by federal land management agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on applied science needs. Eligibility in the listing is consistent with that approach, naming public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as eligible applicants, even though this particular notice is not inviting new applications.

Funding details in the listing show an estimated total funding amount of $66,975. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is a common way some notices are formatted when they are not structured as competitive opportunities with variable award ranges. The posting also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.

Timing information indicates the opportunity was posted and created on September 16, 2014, and it was archived on September 23, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates are described as "This is not a request for applications," which is consistent with a notice of intent rather than a solicitation. The funding opportunity number is P14AS00377, and the title matches the project name.

For those seeking the official record or additional context, the notice points to Grants.gov as the source for the full announcement materials. The contact person listed for access issues is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, with a phone number (415-623-2251) and email (lilettebaltodano@nps.gov). This contact information is provided specifically for difficulties accessing the announcement electronically, which suggests that the primary documentation is expected to be obtained online rather than through a standard application package process.
