Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) announced a government grant opportunity titled "Genetic Analyses of Yellowstone Bison" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI YELL R1580120273) under the broad area of natural resources research. The notice was issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning it was not an open, competitive solicitation and was not requesting applications from the general public. Instead, NPS stated its intent to make a single, non-competitive award through a Task Agreement under the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement (H500002A271), consistent with Department of the Interior policies cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C.
The core purpose of the project is genetics work on Yellowstone bison, specifically to investigate haplotype frequencies. In practical terms, that means analyzing how often particular genetic lineages or DNA sequence variants occur within the bison population, information that can support understanding population structure, ancestry, and genetic diversity. The announcement points readers to a "Full Announcement" attachment for additional technical and administrative details, indicating that the short notice serves mainly to document the agency's intent and the mechanism for making the award rather than to solicit proposals.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument is listed as a cooperative agreement, with an expected number of awards of one. The total estimated funding amount is $35,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs relating to resources of the National Park System. Although the "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled as "Others," the eligibility narrative clarifies the practical effect: this NOI is a single-source action intended for Texas A&M University, not a competitive opportunity for other institutions to apply.
The posting and timing details also reflect the NOI nature of the announcement. It was posted and created on August 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2012, and it was archived on September 2, 2012. These very short dates are typical of notices that function primarily as public documentation of an intended award rather than an application window for competing proposals.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist at NPS, reachable by phone at 504-589-3882 or by email at rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
