Opportunity Summary:
Implementing the Northern Rockies Fire Science Network to Facilitate Fire Science Communication (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR95060120107) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work, specifically improving how fire science information is communicated and shared across the Northern Rockies region. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in coordinating, guiding, or partnering on the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the activity is tied to research, training, and applied knowledge-sharing that supports management of national park system resources.
This posting is not an open call for proposals and is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to Salish Kootenai College. The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practice, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is documenting the decision and rationale under internal procurement and financial assistance rules rather than inviting applications from other organizations.
The anticipated award profile is modest and targeted: the National Park Service expects to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $26,204. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly indicates the agency did not specify a standard maximum or minimum range in the synopsis, particularly in cases like single-source actions where the amount is already known and fixed for the particular task agreement.
Timing details reflect a short administrative window consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than a competitive cycle. The opportunity was posted and created on June 26, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2012, and an archive date of August 1, 2012. Because it is not a competitive opportunity, the closing date functions more as the end of the public notice period and recordkeeping timeline than as a deadline for proposal submissions from the general public.
The mechanism is described as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership networks that support collaborative research, technical assistance, and education between federal agencies and eligible partner institutions. Positioning the work under the Rocky Mountain CESU suggests the project is meant to leverage established collaboration frameworks to support fire science communication, coordination, and knowledge transfer in ways that are directly useful to land and fire managers in the Northern Rockies.
