Fisheries Information Systems History and Environmental Survey for Lassen Volcanic National Park | 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 called "Fisheries Information Systems History and Environmental Survey for Lassen Volcanic National Park." This notice functions as a public transparency statement rather than a competitive grant announcement. In plain terms, it is not asking outside organizations to apply, submit proposals, or compete for the funding. Instead, it notifies the public that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing cooperative partnership, without full and open competition.

The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00595 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The work falls under the Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, a program identifier commonly tied to National Park Service assistance awards. The record indicates an expected single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $45,000. The posting date (Creation Date) is September 2, 2016. Because this is not a request for applications, there is no true application deadline; the "Original Closing Date" is effectively noted as not applicable.

The intended recipient is the University of California at Davis (UC Davis), operating as a partner within the California Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. The award is structured as a task agreement (Task Agreement # P16AC01670) issued under a broader, pre-existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement P13AC00676). The CESU framework is designed to facilitate collaboration between federal agencies and research institutions, especially universities, for projects involving science, resource management, and technical assistance. In this case, NPS is using that established mechanism to direct the work to UC Davis, which is consistent with the notice language stating the activity will be funded "without full and open competition."

Based on the title and the short description provided, the project is centered on fisheries information systems, historical fisheries-related information, and an environmental survey specific to Lassen Volcanic National Park. While the notice does not spell out a detailed scope of work, the phrasing suggests the project will likely compile, organize, and possibly standardize fisheries data and historical records (for example, past stocking records, management actions, historical monitoring results, and documented changes in aquatic resources), and pair that with environmental survey components that help interpret current conditions. The "information systems" part implies an emphasis on data organization and usability, such as building or improving datasets, geospatial layers, inventories, or structured databases that NPS staff can use for long-term resource management and decision-making related to fish populations and aquatic habitats.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," but that eligibility category does not translate into an open competition here. The notice is explicit that the purpose is to provide public notice of NPS intent to make a directed award under the existing CESU partnership arrangement. Practically, this means other universities or entities are not being solicited for this specific funding action, and no application materials are being requested because the award pathway and partner have already been identified.

Overall, the posting documents a small, single-award cooperative agreement action (up to $45,000) intended to support fisheries and aquatic resource information gathering and environmental survey work at Lassen Volcanic National Park, executed through UC Davis under the California CESU network, with the main purpose of the announcement being transparency about a non-competitive, pre-selected funding decision rather than a call for proposals.
