Integrating Climate Smart Principles into NPS Climate Adaptation Planning and Activities | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Integrating Climate Smart Principles into NPS Climate Adaptation Planning and Activities" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00327) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice focused on strengthening how climate-smart conservation principles are built into climate adaptation planning and related on-the-ground activities across the National Park System. The stated objective is a collaboration between the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and NPS to more efficiently and consistently incorporate climate-smart approaches throughout the agency, indicating an emphasis on practical integration into existing planning frameworks rather than isolated pilot projects.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to remain actively involved in the work, coordinating with the awardee as the project is carried out. The funding activity category is listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, aligning the work with applied conservation planning, adaptation strategy development, decision support, and capacity-building efforts that support climate resilience in park resources. The opportunity lists a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $173,000, and it notes no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of the award.

Importantly, this notice is not a request for applications. It is a notice of intent for a single-source award, meaning NPS is publicly announcing its intention to fund a specific project with a specific partner without full and open competition. In this case, the intended recipient is the National Wildlife Federation, identified as a partner under the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (PSAC) and associated with Cooperative Agreement P13AC00443. Because it is a single-source intent notice, there is no competitive application window, no standard closing date for submissions, and the posted and creation date reflect when the notice was published (September 2, 2014), with an archive date of September 16, 2014.

The eligible applicant information shown in the listing includes categories such as "Others" and "Private institutions of higher education," but the practical reality of this particular posting is that eligibility is effectively constrained by the single-source intent language: NPS is using the announcement to provide transparency about awarding funds directly to NWF under the referenced cooperative framework rather than soliciting proposals from the broader community. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which signals the project is part of NPS efforts to support research, training, and cooperative work that benefits park management and conservation outcomes.

For anyone trying to locate the official materials or confirm administrative details, the listing points to Grants.gov for the full announcement and provides a contact for access issues: Alison Smith at the National Park Service (404-507-5754, AlisonSmith@nps.gov).
