Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) notice titled "Genetic Diversity and Population Status of Bats in Northern Arizona" is a discretionary funding announcement issued as a public notice rather than an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not inviting applications from the broader research community. Instead, it formally announces NPS's intent to fund a specific project with a specific partner using a non-competitive award process, consistent with Department of the Interior policy.
The project will be supported through a cooperative agreement mechanism under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) arrangement, with the work issued as a non-competitive task agreement to Northern Arizona University under the existing CESU cooperative agreement number H2370094001. The activity is categorized under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The purpose implied by the title is research on bat populations in Northern Arizona, focusing on genetic diversity and overall population status, which aligns with conservation and resource management needs within or connected to national park lands.
Funding details in the notice indicate a single expected award with a total amount fixed at $10,000, since both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $10,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide additional non-federal funds to receive the award. Eligibility is listed broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because this is a non-competitive intent notice, the practical recipient is already identified as Northern Arizona University.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2012, and an archive date of September 20, 2012. Those dates mainly reflect the administrative window for the public notice rather than a competitive submission period. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Alicia Broner, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6734.
