Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), posted a discretionary grant notice titled "Field Ecology and Technical Support for Long-term Monitoring in National Parks of the Southern Colorado Plateau Network" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00185). The purpose of the notice is simply to provide public transparency that NPS intends to fund a specific set of project activities related to field ecology and technical support for long-term monitoring in national parks that are part of the Southern Colorado Plateau Network. The funding activity area is environmental in nature, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not a request for applications. In other words, the NPS is not soliciting proposals through an open, competitive process. Instead, it is a public notice that the agency plans to make an award without competition for the described work. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is intended as a single, non-competitive grant action rather than a broadly competed grant program.
The total anticipated funding is listed with an award ceiling of $240,000. The notice was created and posted on May 23, 2016, and it shows a closing date of June 6, 2016, which functions more as an administrative posting window than an invitation for applicants, given the explicit statement that applications are not being requested.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the announcement pointing readers to an "Additional Information on Eligibility" field for clarification (not included in the provided text). In practice, for notices like this, that eligibility label typically signals that the award is intended for a specific type of partner organization or a particular recipient already identified by the agency, consistent with the non-competitive intent described in the announcement.
Overall, the announcement is best understood as a formal public notification that NPS plans to support field ecology and technical assistance work that enables or sustains long-term monitoring efforts across Southern Colorado Plateau Network parks, using a grant instrument, up to $240,000, with a single anticipated award, and without opening the project to competitive applications.
