Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Implementation of Water Resources Monitoring at Bighorn Canyon NRA" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2120110014) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work at Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The project is framed specifically as an implementation effort for water resources monitoring, meaning the core purpose is to support on-the-ground monitoring activities that help the park track water conditions and trends over time. In practical terms, opportunities like this typically support field data collection, monitoring design execution, and associated reporting that can inform park management decisions related to water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and overall watershed health within the park unit.
This funding is being issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordination on monitoring objectives, methods, data standards, schedules, and deliverables). The action is being made under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework used by NPS and other federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and monitoring projects that support public land management.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not an open, competitive solicitation. It is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive (single-source) award made in accordance with the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The eligibility language makes this explicit: the announcement is not a request for applications, and the intended recipient is Montana State University. As a result, other organizations are not being invited to submit proposals under this posting, even though it appears in the standard grants listing format.
The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $27,138. No cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices that are primarily informational or where the precise award structure is handled through an internal task agreement mechanism rather than a typical competitive grant range.
The announcement was posted and created on July 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 31, 2011, and an archive date of August 30, 2011. The CFDA number associated with this action is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, aligning with the CESU research and technical assistance mission.
