Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Identification and Evaluation of Five Natural Areas as Potential National Natural Landmarks in the Pacific West Region" is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to make a single, specific award without full and open competition for a defined set of project activities.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve substantial involvement by NPS alongside the recipient rather than functioning as a hands-off grant. The project falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The intent is to support work that identifies and evaluates five natural areas in the Pacific West Region to determine whether they may qualify as National Natural Landmarks, a designation used to recognize nationally significant natural features and sites.
The recipient identified in the notice is Portland State University, operating under Task Agreement P14AC01727 within Cooperative Agreement H8W07110001. Portland State University is a partner in the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a network designed to facilitate collaboration among federal agencies, universities, and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education tied to natural and cultural resource management. Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but in practice this notice indicates NPS intends to fund this particular partner directly rather than compete the opportunity.
The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $30,000, with no stated award ceiling or floor, and it indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on September 11, 2014, and archived on September 18, 2014. Because it is not competitive and not accepting applications, the closing date fields simply repeat that it is not a request for applications.
