Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Improve Treatment of Condors for Lead Exposures by Assessing Efficacy of Current Protocol." The purpose of the notice is simply to inform the public that NPS plans to fund specific work related to condor health management, especially how California condors are treated after lead exposure. Because lead poisoning remains one of the most serious threats to condor recovery, the project is framed around evaluating how well existing treatment protocols are working and whether current approaches are achieving the desired outcomes for affected birds.
This posting is explicitly not a request for applications, and there is no competitive application process associated with it. Instead, NPS states it intends to make an award without full and open competition by issuing Task Agreement P15AC00724 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P13AC00676). The recipient is the Regents of the University of California, Santa Cruz, operating as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, this means NPS is using an established partnership mechanism to continue or extend specialized research and support services through an organization with relevant expertise, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, under the funding activity category of natural resources. Only one award is expected. The total estimated funding is listed as $105,000, with an award ceiling of $105,000 and an award floor of $35,375. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but the key point in this case is that the announcement functions as a public notice tied to a specific intended recipient under an existing agreement, not an open competition. The funding opportunity number is P15AS00137, and it was posted and created on June 5, 2015. The listing was archived on June 15, 2015, reinforcing that it is informational rather than an active solicitation with deadlines.
For anyone needing access help or more details from the full announcement materials, the NPS contact provided is William Nash, Contract Specialist, reachable at 415-623-2262 or WilliamNash@nps.gov. An additional information link is provided through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov.
