Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Historical Ecology Reconnaissance Study of Mt. Wanda." This notice is meant strictly as a public announcement of the agency's plan to make an award; it is not a solicitation and it is not requesting applications from the public. In other words, the NPS is signaling that it intends to fund a specific partner for a defined set of activities without going through a full and open competitive process.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement (Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement) under Cooperative Agreement Number P12AC35074, and the intended recipient is the San Francisco Estuary Institute. The activity falls within the Natural Resources funding category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The project name indicates the work will focus on historical ecology reconnaissance for Mt. Wanda, which typically involves compiling and interpreting historical and ecological information to better understand past landscape conditions and changes over time, often to support park resource management and restoration planning.
Financially, the notice describes a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $35,984. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $35,984, indicating the award amount is fixed at that level for this action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 28, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2012, and an archive date of September 28, 2012. Because this is a notice rather than a competitive funding opportunity, the short window is consistent with a public notice period rather than an application period.
Eligibility information is included for completeness and lists eligible applicants as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education; however, in this context, eligibility does not imply an open competition since the NPS is explicitly stating its intent to fund a particular organization without full and open competition.
For questions or if there are issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Cameron Reed, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at (415) 623-2253 or cameronreed@nps.gov.
