Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Investigating the impact of willow condition on abundance and species richness of small mammals and birds" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resource research within the National Park System. The project is intended to examine how the condition of willow habitats influences both the abundance (how many individuals are present) and species richness (how many different species are present) of small mammals and birds. In practical terms, this kind of study typically supports park management by linking vegetation health and riparian or wetland habitat quality to wildlife community outcomes, which can inform decisions about restoration, grazing or browsing impacts, hydrology management, and broader ecosystem monitoring.
This announcement is not a general, open competition for applicants. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive basis is cited as consistent with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, often through collaboration on study design, field coordination, data sharing, and integration of findings into park management needs.
The opportunity number is NPS NOIR1526125067, and it was posted and created on June 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 11, 2012. The rapid closing timeline aligns with the fact that it is not a request for applications but rather a formal public notice tied to an intended award action. The estimated total funding amount listed is $30,000. Both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which commonly appears in systems postings when an agency is not structuring the notice around a competitive range but instead is documenting an intended obligation amount elsewhere (or using the estimated total funding field as the meaningful number).
Eligibility is also narrowly defined. While the system category lists eligible applicants as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility information makes the intent clear: this is a single-source award to the University of Colorado. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. For applicants or stakeholders seeking more detail, the notice indicates that additional information is contained in an attached announcement, and the point of contact for access issues is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
