Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) grant action related to humpback whale research in southeastern Alaska, focused specifically on the species genetic and demographic structure. The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the NPS and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity area. Rather than being an open competition, it is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the NPS is publicly disclosing that it plans to make a single award to a specific partner without soliciting new applications.
The project is titled "Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Genetic and Demographic Structure Within Southeastern Alaska" and is being supported through a cooperative agreement mechanism. The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates the agency expects substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordination, shared planning, or technical collaboration), as opposed to a more hands-off approach that is common in some standard grants. The planned work will be carried out under Task Agreement P12AC15004, which sits under a broader Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001) with Oregon State University. Oregon State University is identified as a partner in the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, a CESU network that federal agencies often use to collaborate with universities on research, technical assistance, and education in ecosystem and resource management.
Financially, the announcement indicates there will be one expected award, with total estimated funding of $89,969. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $89,969, which effectively means the award amount is fixed for this action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listing included is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with NPS-supported research and related capacity-building tied to park system resources.
Even though the eligibility field lists public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the key practical point is that this is not an application-based opportunity. It is a short administrative posting intended to satisfy public notice requirements for a noncompetitive award decision already in motion. The posting date is August 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2012, and an archive date of September 2, 2012, reflecting that the notice window was brief and that the action was time-bounded as a published intent rather than a solicitation.
For anyone needing access help with the full announcement or related documentation, the contact listed is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at 415-623-2251.
