Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Invasive Coqui Monitoring and Control in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Vicinity" 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 call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS plans to fund specific project work without full and open competition, using a task agreement issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P09AC00291) with the University of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii is participating as a partner through the Hawaii Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, which is a framework NPS uses to collaborate with academic and research institutions on natural resource priorities.
The project focus is on monitoring and controlling invasive coqui frogs in and around Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Coqui frogs are a well-known invasive species in Hawaii, and management efforts typically involve locating populations, tracking their spread, and implementing on-the-ground control actions to reduce their impacts. In the context of a national park and surrounding lands, this kind of work generally supports protection of native ecosystems and park resources by limiting invasive species establishment and expansion. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates substantial involvement and coordination between NPS and the award recipient, rather than a hands-off grant where the recipient operates independently.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00104 and falls under the "Discretionary" opportunity category with a "Cooperative Agreement" as the funding instrument type. The activity category is Natural Resources, and NPS expected to make a single award. The total estimated funding amount is $39,734, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $39,734, meaning the intended award amount is fixed at that level rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," aligning with the stated intention to fund the University of Hawaii under the existing CESU partnership agreement. The posting date and creation date are both June 25, 2013, and the archive date is June 27, 2013. Because it is not an application-based opportunity, the original and current closing dates both state that it is not a request for applications. The CFDA listing provided is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, a program area that supports research and technical work benefiting NPS resource stewardship.
For anyone trying to access the full announcement or needing assistance with the electronic posting, the listed NPS contact is Cameron Reed, reachable at 415-623-2253 or via email at CameronReed@nps.gov. An additional information link is provided through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov, although the central point of the notice is simply to document NPS intent to make this specific non-competitive award to the University of Hawaii for coqui monitoring and control work in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park vicinity.
