Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), issued a public notice for a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Glacier and perennial snowfield mass balance of Rocky Mountain National Park (ROMO): Historic, Modern and Future." The focus of the project is environmental research in Rocky Mountain National Park related to glacier and long-lasting snowfield mass balance, looking across three time perspectives: historical conditions, modern observations, and future expectations. In practical terms, this type of work generally supports understanding how much ice and persistent snow is being gained or lost over time, what past records show about change, what current measurements indicate, and what scientific methods can suggest about future trends. This can inform park resource management, climate and hydrology understanding, and planning for impacts tied to shrinking ice and snow features.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal notification that NPS intended to fund specific project activities without competition, meaning the agency planned to make a direct award rather than run an open, competitive solicitation. The posting functions mainly as transparency for the public record, rather than an invitation for organizations to apply.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number P16AS00187 and a CFDA listing of 15.945. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is Environment, and the opportunity is categorized as Discretionary. The anticipated number of awards was one, with an award ceiling of $42,739, indicating the planned project budget would not exceed that amount. The opportunity was created and posted on May 23, 2016, with a listed closing date of June 6, 2016 (both original and current closing dates match). Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the note that additional eligibility clarification would be found in an accompanying text field in the full announcement record.
