Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Evaluating River Morphologic Changes for Restoration Planning, Design and Monitoring using Airborne LiDAR" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR1526125051). The project sits in the Natural Resources activity area and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The core technical focus is the use of airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to measure and analyze changes in river morphology, which can include channel shape, bank and floodplain topography, sediment movement patterns, and other physical features that influence river behavior over time. The intent is to generate information useful for restoration planning, engineering design decisions, and ongoing monitoring, with LiDAR serving as the main data source for detecting and quantifying geomorphic change.
This notice is explicitly not an open call for proposals. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework used by the Department of the Interior to collaborate with universities and other partners on research and technical assistance. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. Only one award is anticipated, and the identified recipient is Colorado State University. In other words, other institutions or organizations are not being invited to apply, and the "Eligible Applicants" category is effectively limited by the single-source determination described in the eligibility language.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $55,410, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly indicates that the public posting is primarily a formal notice rather than a competitive funding range for applicants. The expected number of awards is one. The associated CFDA program numbers are 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the CESU-based research and applied science nature of the work.
Timing details indicate the opportunity was posted and created on April 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2012, and an archive date of May 30, 2012. Because this is not a request for applications and is a single-source award, these dates function more as administrative posting windows than true competitive deadlines.
