Opportunity Summary:
The Landbird Monitoring for the Northern Great Plains opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2107120007) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resource work, specifically monitoring landbird populations in the Northern Great Plains region. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is structured as a collaborative effort where the NPS is expected to have substantial involvement in the work being performed rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The opportunity was posted on June 11, 2012, with a closing date of June 18, 2012, and it was later archived on July 18, 2012.
This announcement is not an open solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive nature of the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy, cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive agreement may be appropriate. As a result, although the listing appears in a grants context, it functions more as a public notice that the NPS plans to execute a task agreement through the CESU framework rather than as an invitation for multiple organizations to compete.
The award is expected to be a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $105,000. The announcement does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which often indicates that the detailed budget parameters are contained in the attached announcement or internal agreement documentation rather than in the public summary record. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is effectively limited because the NPS states the funding announcement is a single-source award to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. The listing includes CFDA number 15.945, associated with Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, aligning the work with NPS goals of research, monitoring, and stewardship of park resources. For parties seeking more detail, the NPS directs readers to an attached announcement for additional information, and provides a grants management contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, phone 303-969-2392.
