Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior for a project called "Evaluating Techniques for Native Hawaiian Dry Land Forest Restoration." It falls under the natural resources category and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning the work is carried out collaboratively under an existing agreement framework rather than as a typical standalone grant competition. The notice is explicitly not a request for applications; instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The planned award is tied to Task Agreement Number P12AC15012 under Cooperative Agreement H8080090008. The partner identified for this work is the University of Hawaii, participating through the Hawaii Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. In practical terms, this indicates that NPS is leveraging an established cooperative research partnership mechanism to support applied work aimed at improving or testing restoration approaches for native Hawaiian dryland forests, a highly threatened ecosystem type in Hawaii.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed: NPS anticipated issuing a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with both the award floor and award ceiling set at $70,000, indicating the intended project funding amount is $70,000 total. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The eligible applicant category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the intended recipient being the University of Hawaii.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, labeled "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is a federal assistance program area commonly used by NPS for research, technical support, and resource stewardship-related collaboration. Key dates show it was posted and created on August 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2012, and an archive date of September 29, 2012. Because it is a notice of intent rather than an open call, the short posting window functions more as a transparency step than as an application period.
For questions or accessibility issues related to obtaining the full announcement, the contact listed is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251.
