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 "Landbird Monitoring in Point Reyes National Seashore" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00203). This notice is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive award and is not requesting or accepting applications. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to be actively involved in the project alongside the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation.
The proposed project focuses on landbird monitoring within Point Reyes National Seashore and the broader San Francisco Bay Area Network (SFAN). The central purpose is to improve understanding of how landbird populations may be changing over time and what those changes could mean for species conservation, park management, and overall ecosystem health. A key driver of the work is the need to interpret potential shifts in bird populations in the context of environmental change, including the possible effects of climate change on park ecology.
NPS intends to fund PRBO Conservation Science specifically, without full and open competition, because PRBO brings a unique and irreplaceable long-term dataset and expertise. PRBO is described as a world leader in landbird population monitoring and holds a 48-year record of landbird population trends from within Bay Area parks. That historical dataset is a major justification for the sole-source approach, since it provides continuity and long-term context that would be difficult or impossible to replicate through a new competitor on the same timeline. The project will pair PRBO's long-running dataset with newly acquired monitoring data to answer management-relevant questions, such as how populations are trending, which species may be of concern, and what ecological factors might be driving observed changes.
Beyond research and monitoring, the notice emphasizes a broader cooperative relationship between NPS and PRBO Conservation Science. Both parties express mutual interest in conducting ecological research and supporting education-related efforts across SFAN park units. The cooperative agreement is framed as supporting educational, informational, interpretive, and research programs tied to natural resources, with the stated aim of benefiting the general public and future generations by improving stewardship of park ecosystems.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action under the natural resources activity category, with CFDA number 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The posting date was August 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2013, and an archive date of August 30, 2013. The estimated total funding amount is $80,796, and the listing indicates one expected award. No cost sharing or matching is required. While the eligible applicant category is shown as private institutions of higher education, the notice itself makes clear that this specific action is intended for PRBO Conservation Science through a non-competitive process.
